    Abstract: The writing covers eight months, from February 1938 until September 15, 1938, when the family emigrated via airplane to London, England. The first chapter starts in February 1938, the day of Lisl's birthday. The author uses a fictional style throughout the memoir, naming herself Lisl instead of "I". The days following the Anschluss are described in detail: the persecution, being expelled from school, the arrest of her father--all from a child's perspective. A brief "epilogue" tells about Lisl taking pre-med classes at Canterbury College; and the family obtaining visas to the US and settling down in Los Angeles.
    Abstract: Also included are family and childhood photographs from the years in Austria and a few pictures from the time in the USA.

    Abstract: The memoir includes a pedigree, photographs, representing the whole family, grandparents, parents, himself, in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. The manuscript starts with Robert Kanfer's grandparents' background, then covers the Boehm family--his wife Susie's family. Susie's father was Jewish. Her Catholic mother helped her husband's parents to get a visa. Her grandfather was Alfred Boehm. The next chapter covers vague memories of the "Anschluss" in March 1938. Robert Kanfer's father, Max Kanfer, was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Buchenwald concentration camp. There he spent 4 months, and 4 more in Dachau concentration camp. Robert Kanfer's mother Bertha was forced to scrub off the streets which is vividly described. He describes a few more of these cruel daily antisemitic attacks. Since the family had a very limited budget, obtaining visas became quite difficult. The family had to separate and reunite only many years later, in 1947. The father emigrated to Shanghai, Robert could escape on a Kindertransport in 1939. He would spend the coming eleven years in England. Robert's brother Fritz was eager to move back to Vienna, and wanted his family to join him. He arranged for Robert to study architecture at the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts, which finally convinced Robert to join his brother. So he moved back to Vienna in 1950. He started to study with famous Austrian architect Clemens Holzmeister, but later changed to the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, to study with Franz Schuster. After graduation, he soon opened his own office. Throughout his career, he designed 10 Novotel hotels in Austria. He got married to his first wife Evi, they got a son, Roland. Soon they got a divorce, and Robert married Susy who he had known for a long time.

    Abstract: "Visit to a Viennese Cemetery" is a personal reflection about Fireside's first trip back to Austria since his arrival in the USA. It was organised by the "Jewish Welcome Service" in September 2000. This trip brings forgotten memories back to life, questioning the role of Austrians in the Holocaust, and their denial afterwards. The author describes the trip, first days of sightseeing and conversations of his fellow travellers. On the last day, the group went to Zentralfreidhof, the main cemetery in Vienna.
    Abstract: The memoir "Delusions and Denials: Viennese Life under the Nazis" starts with a description of the author's family and an essay-like reflection about Austria and its role and engagement with Nazism, and soon turns to the author's own childhood in Vienna, presenting his personal memories in context of the political situation in the 1930s. In the main part of the memoir, Fireside talks at length about the immediate events leading to the "Anschluss", followed by its consecutive years, still being in Vienna. "Kristallnacht", the pogrom in November of 1938, is dealt with in detail, over 15 pages. Until their escape in April 1940, Fireside describes plenty incidents of humiliations and persecution, the process of getting affidavits for the USA, and finally his family boarding a ship in Italy and their arrival in the USA.

    Abstract: In the first chapter, “Holocaust and I”, Robert Treuer describes his youth in Vienna/Austria, how he grew up and how the anti-Semitism became more and more apparent in Austria. After the Anschluss, his father decided for him and his mother to leave the country. They emigrated to England where his mother worked as a housekeeper. Robert Treuer was separated from his mother, because the employer did not want another child in the house. His father was still in Austria. After being abused at school, his uncle took him away and brought him to a nearby tent camp in London. After a while, his father got the chance to escape from Austria and came to England as well. Although Robert Treuer’s father wrote letters to many countries to immigrate, only the United States allowed them to enter. Together with his parents he immigrated to the United States on February 9, 1939. In the second chapter, “Redemption. Searching for Trude and Irma”, Robert Treuer returned for a trip to Germany with two of his children and visited some of the concentration camps. During his stay in Germany, all the memories of the cruelty of the Nazi regime came back. He also talks about his cousin Erika and her family in Vienna and Hohenau. She was sent to England with the Kindertransport and never saw any member of his family again.
    Abstract: Also included are Robert Treuer's questionnaire with the Austrian Heritage Collection and a curriculum vitae.

    Abstract: The memoir was written 1946 in Austria, shortly after her liberation. Minna recalls her deportation in February 1942. She was taken to Riga together with her parents and her husband. Her mother was killed upon their arrival. Her father and her husband were taken to Salaspils for forced labor, where the later perished. Minna, who was pregnant with her first child, was forced to undergo an abortion. She describes her experiences of Nazi sadism in the Ghetto of Riga, especially by the Ghetto commanders Krause and Roschmann. In 1943 Minna was taken for peat cutting labor to Olaine. In November 1943 Minna and her father were reunited at the concentration camp Kaiserwald near Riga. From there both were taken to Spilve - a labor camp at a German air base, which was under worse conditions than the first camp. They worked in the cold without appropriate shoes and in thin clothes. Due to the exhausting conditions Minna's father Wilhelm was getting weaker and eventually was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Minna was taken to Stutthof, which was overcrowded and in primitive conditions. They were taken to an exterior labor camp, where they had to build trenches for the German defense in the rain and cold. They suffered of constant hunger. In January 1945 the camp was dissolved and all sick and disabled were killed. They were marched under exhausting conditions in the snow and cold. For all missing women ten others were chosen randomly to be killed. After a week Minna was finally too exhausted to continue walking and stayed behind. The guard who was supposed to kill her fired the bullet over her head and left her for dead in the snow. She was rescued and brought to a house, where she was given food and a place to sleep. She was discovered by a German police officer, who was about to shoot her along with other Jewish fugitives. Minna was saved by her Viennese accent, which convinced him that she was a gentile woman.
    Abstract: She was taken to a mobile army hospital and treated for her frozen feet. In March 1945 Minna was liberated in Lauenburg, Prussia, where she was sent by German hospitals as an unidentified Jewish patient.

    Abstract: The businessman Josef Schleich was born in 1902 in Graz, Austria. He went on businesstrips to Vienna and upheld close relationships with Jewish merchants. After the Anschluss to Nazi Germany in 1938 he was contacted by some of his Jewish acquaintances, who asked him to assist them in their attempts to leave the country. He started to hold agricultural classes for Jews, who wanted to learn a trade prior to their emigration. With the support of the Jewish community (Kultusgemeinde) he traveled around Europe to find out about possible emigration routes. Soon he concentrates his efforts on the Southern border of Austria with Yugoslawia. Due to prior business endeavors, which were already partially illegal, he already knew the border with its many sidepaths. Initially he started his efforts to assist Jews illegally over the border with the knowledge of the Gestapo, but after some time he could only continue his endeavors on the basis of constant bribes. In 1940 the Jewish community was dissolved and moved to Vienna, where Schleich continued to organize his activities under the cover of a travelagency. Most of the people arrived from Vienna, some even from cities in Germany, at Graz, where Schleich accomodated them in his city apartment, until further transportation was arranged. Schleich had helpers among some farmers along the border as well as some helpers on the Yugoslawian side. The whole extent of the people he helped crossing the border is still unknown, but new research has proved that the number of rescued Jews amount to more than 20.000. After the war, in 1947, he was accused of taking advantage of the plight of Jews, due to the fact that he received substantial fees for his efforts to assist Jews over the border. In 1949 Josef Schlech died in Graz.
    Abstract: The collection contains materials pertaining to a radio broadcast in Austria on Oct. 25, 2000, “Der Steirische Schindler”, about Josef Schleich from Graz, Austria, who saved the life of thousands of Jews, 1938-1941. Also included is a typed transcript of the broadcast.

    Abstract: Description of the life of Rosemarie L. Joseph from her happy childhood in Germany, the danger during the Nazi Regime, the immigration to the USA, until her retirement in Florida, narrated in 11 chapters and illustrated with photographs and figures showing family members and documents.
    Abstract: Rosemarie Joseph describes her family and their life in Berlin. The father was a businessman, dealing with women’s clothes. The author writes about her years at a public school, where she met anti-Semitism for the first time. Later she went to a private school in Berlin-Lichterfelde. The memoir deals with the upcoming Nazi Regime and describes how the family experienced anti-Semitism, the terror, despair and confusion; especially the events of the “Reichskristallnacht” and the efforts to emigrate are described. Eventually Rosemarie was able to go to London, which was made possible by the Bloomsbury House, which offered older children, who were not eligible for the “Kindertransport”, to escape to Great Britain. The memoir tells about the escape of Rosemarie’s parents. Her father was born in Danzig, which was considered a free State by Hitler after the war began. Therefore Hartwig Deutschland received a “Danzig Quota” number 7 for travel to America and the couple left Germany immediately and soon arrived in New York. Shortly afterwards Rosemarie got a visa to enter the USA, too.
    Abstract: The memoir tells about her first years in the USA, her job as a pediatrics nurse at the Israel Zion Hospital, her job caring for a small child, her years studying at Hunter College, her job at the Blood Bank at University Hospital as well as how she met her husband Hans Joseph. She was lucky to get a grant of $1,800.00 from the Educational Foundation for Jewish Girls and so she was able to enroll at the Polyclinic Hospital and Medical School for one year. After passing the Registry Exam she was allowed to work as a Medical Technologist of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Her first job then was at a private medical laboratory in Brooklyn. 1952 she started to work part time at the Jewish Memorial Hospital, which soon turned into a full time job. She worked there until 1982. Furthermore Rosemarie writes about her struggle to get a child. Finally the couple adopted two boys, Claude and Andrew. The memoir gives account of the family’s decision to buy a house at Lake Carmel in Putnam county, N.Y., their animals, the family life, how Rosemarie started oil painting, her retirement, her voluntary work at the Residential Treatment Center for autistic children, the death of her husband, a new relationship; and finally her move to West Palm Beach, Florida and her life there, together with a lot of volunteer activities, music and trips to several places in the USA and Europe. Finally, the memoir includes a paragraph about Rosemarie’s contribution to the Shoa Foundation with Steven Spielberg as a chairman plus a copy of the letter that Spielberg sent to Rosemarie, saying thank you for her help.

    Abstract: In a memoir written for her daughters, Inge (Irene) Brenner recounts her family’s history, growing up in Berlin with her parents, her maternal grandfather Samuel Oppenheimer and her two sisters, Lony (born 1913) and Marianne (born 1922). She tells of the hardship that befell Jewish families after the Nazis’ rise to power. Her sister Lony left for Paris in 1933 and later worked as a secretary for the Zionist politician Vladimir Jabotinsky. Inge met her future husband Hans (Harold) Brenner in 1937 in Berlin; he was able to immigrate with the help of an American cousin and sent for Inge soon after Kristallnacht. They met in Havana, Cuba, and were married there. He returned to New York while Inge waited for her visa in Cuba, then entered the United States via Miami. Hans and Inge lived in a small apartment in Washington Heights, eventually joined by his parents as well as Inge’s parents and younger sister Marianne. When Lony and her husband Maurice arrived from Paris, they started a small business that employed several members of the family. Hans and Inge had two daughters, Barbara and Jessica; Maurice and Lony had one daughter named Linda. Inge also describes her younger sister’s life in some detail. Marianne, in an ultimately broken marriage with Henry Dreifus, gave birth to her only daughter at the age of 22. Claudia Dreifus was raised until the age of eight by her grandmother, Emma Willdorff, and later by her father and step-mother. Marianne went on to suffer a nervous breakdown, followed by a severe car accident. She spent her final years living in Reno with her second husband Aram Jorjorian. Following a second divorce, Marianne died at age 55.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1998 in Argentina. Gabriel Groszman describes the family history reaching back to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Anti-Semitism and the blood libel trial of Tisza Eszlar. His father, who was born in the Habsburg empire, fought in World War One. In 1918 counter revolution in Hungary under Admiral Horthy, who established a semi-fascist regime. Childhood memories of the Jewish life in Vamosmikola, a small Hungarian village of 1500 inhabitants and 25 Jewish families. Both of his grandparents had small stores and did fairly well. Encounters of anti-Semitism in a predominantly Catholic environment. With Hitler's rise in Germany Admiral Horthy became encouraged to reinforce Anti-Jewish regulations. Gabriel's father was forced to give up his grain-business, because agricultural related buisness was prohibited for Jews. Move to Budapest. Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944. Imi, Gabriel's 18 years old brother, was taken to a copper mine in Yugoslavia. Gabriel himself at age 14 had to clean up factories after air raids. He got a position as a messenger boy at the Jewish community committee (Judenrat). Large Jewish population in Budapest (300.000) delayed the Nazi efforts of deportation. Concentration of the Jewish population in designated houses under restricted circumstances. House searches by the Nazis. Growing danger of deportation. Raol Wallenbergs intervention with the Swedish embassy provided the family with a special document of protection. They moved to the "Swedish house". In December 1944 the Nazis did not respect any longer the immunity of the protected Jewish families and started deporting people from there as well. The Nazis established a Jewish ghetto in a district of Budapest to prepare the final deportation of the Jewish population in Budapest. Approaching Russian troops cut the roads and crossed these plans. The family of Gabriel Groszman was still able to stay in the "Swedish house", though with limited protection.
    Abstract: Mass killing of Jewish people who were taken to the river Danube and shot by Hungarian Nazis. Gabriel's father bought forged papers for the family, stating them as Eastern Hungarian refugees. They moved out of the Ghetto and the "Swedish house" to the gentile district with forged identities. Air raids and advancing Russion troops. Their landlords discovered their true identity and restrained from denouncing them. After a few weeks Budapest was liberated by the Russians. The family moved to Vienna and lived there for three years, before they emigrated to Argentina.

At the age of 7 she was taken to a Catholic boarding school. Her mother immigrated to the United States and left her daughter in the care of the nuns of the order "Our dear Lady" (Unserer lieben Frau). Margit's grandparents, the textile merchants Anita and Salomon Kalman paid for her education. The boarding school was located in an exclusive villa and hosted children of the high society. Margit was fascinated by the rituals of the Catholic surroundings. The nuns showed a loving care and made efforts to integrate her in an environment alien to her. At the same time restriction of her strong desire for independence through firm rules and distanced relationships in the nunnery. Estrangement from her classmates due to her mixed heritage. Last encounters with her maternal grandparents prior to their deportation. Growing danger and Gestapo investigations. In 1942 she had to leave the boarding school and lived without legal permission at her paternal grandparents. In 1944 she was taken to Brambach, where she survived the war in hiding.

    Abstract: The material forms only one part of Marianne Lieberman's memoirs. It covers her time in Vienna and Maribor, Slovenia, between the years of 1939 and 1942, with individual chapter headings. Marianne Lieberman remembers her rigid father who would not see her creative talent. She describes early recollections from school, right after the Anschluss in 1938. Her father, being Jewish, had to flee Austria immediately, Marianne Lieberman and her mother went to Slovenia where they stayed with an aunt in 1939. She describes her problems of being baptized. She believed her mother went back to Vienna in 1941, that is why she headed in the same direction. Her first stop was in Graz at a relative's house. Back in Vienna, she was considered a "Mischling" and therefore in danger.
