    Abstract: This brief memoir starts with a description of family background and childhood experiences in Germany. After things got worse in Germany, Ralph's parents decided to send their children away. In June 1939, they came to France, in order to live with Edgar and Alice Weil, a cousin of his father. After the outbreak of World War 2, they moved on to the Pyrenees, not far from Ralph's parents, who had been transferred to St. Cyprien internment camp. Finally the family received visas for the USA, and they managed to get a ship to Casablanca, Morocco, before boarding the ship "Guinee" to New York. Ralph arrived in the USA in April 1942. His parents quickly found temporary jobs in New York.

    Pages: 15 + 89 , typescript.
    Year of publication: 2004
    Former Title: Delusions and denials: Viennese life under the Nazis / Visit to a Viennese cemetery.
    Keywords: Fireside, Harvey, ; Feuerzeug family. ; Zelman, Leon, ; Zentralfriedhof (Vienna, Austria) ; Antisemitism. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Nazis. ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; United States Emigration and immigration. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    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: Originally 38 pages long, the Archives at the Leo Baeck Institute hold only the first 11 pages of the memoir which cover the time period before the Hirschkron family's emigration to the USA, and the first years thereafter. The memoir starts with brief memories about Mr. Hirschkron's paternal grandparents and the neighbourhood they were living in, which was the second district of Vienna. Just one year after his birth, the young family moves out from the grandparents' apartment to an apartment in the seventh district of Vienna, on Burggasse. The family had a house in Hinterbruehl where they used to go during holidays. Later on, they started to summer in Alt Aussee. More detailed descriptions are provided of the events during the Anschluss and the Kristallnacht, after which the family was relocated to Biberstrasse where they had to share the apartment with strangers. After their visas were granted, the family left for New York in January 1940. The last three pages talk about their arrival in New York City, difficulties with finding jobs and general living conditions for immigrants.

    Abstract: The memoir starts with Sylvia Cherny's family background, the family business, and her time in Lower Austria where her family had lived for a couple of generations. She received private tutoring, coming from a well-off family. The "Anschluss" in 1938 changed everything. The family business was taken away and Sylvia Cherny provides a short chronology of its whereabouts. Her father commited suicide after the Anschluss, fearing the Gestapo who was looking for him. Sylvia Cherny went on a Kindertransport to France, then fled via Lisbon to New York. The final pages cover the first years in Melbourne, Australia, where she had joined her mother and her stepfather.

    Abstract: Max Liebmann describes his school life and how unbearable conditions grew after Hitler was elected chancellor. One time a pupil harassed him, but he fought back. He stayed in public school until 1937, and then attended a private school. He had to leave school after “Kristallnacht”, when all Jews were excluded from non-Jewish schools. In March 1938, his father had left for Greece in order to explore new business possibilities. Max Liebmann never saw him again. With the outbreak of World War II, Max Liebmann took his grandmother, who was French Alsatian, to the Swiss border. But Switzerland did not permit her to enter the country, so she went to Nancy and later to Bordeaux. During the war discrimination increased and culminated in Max Liebmann being sent to Eastern Germany to harvest. He describes himself as one of the first slave laborers of the Reich. In 1940, Max Liebmann started to work for the “Hilfsverein”. On October 21, 1940, the “Hilfsverein” was closed and he was deported to France the next day. On October, 25, Max Liebmann arrived at the camp of Gurs in Southwestern France. He managed to get out of the camp just weeks before its closure on August 1, 1942, and the beginning of the first deportations to Auschwitz. He hid in several places in unoccupied France with the help of local residents. He later managed to escape to Switzerland with the help of a Swiss militia man. In Switzerland, he worked in a refugee camp. On February 28, 1943, his girlfriend Hanne, whom he had met in Gurs, came to Switzerland. She first lived with relatives, but left them on Christmas Eve 1944 when personal frictions became too heavy. Max Liebmann married Hanne on April 14, 1945 in Geneva. Their daughter was born on March 4, 1946. In 1948, the family left for the United States.
    Abstract: Max Liebmann ends his memoir with giving a few remarks on Swiss policy concerning Jewish immigration and also on their policy of blocking them from their money in Swiss bank accounts.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in Israel in the 1990s. Phillippe Storch's father Baruch was born 1887 in Galicia. He came to Hannover at age 13 and started his own business in 1907. His ready-made men's clothing had great success and expanded within the years. He met his future wife Deborah, née Horowitz in Hannover, where she had moved with her father from Galicia. They married in 1912. Phillippe was the youngest of four children. His father Baruch, an orthodox Jew, was a strict but a just and kind-hearted man. He was a fervent German patriot and an admirer of German culture, which left him blind folded to the events of the Nazi era and ultimately led to his end in Auschwitz. The children were brought up with German education. Phillippe's older brother Sally was a member of Agudat Yisroel and prepared himself for emigration to Palestine (hakhsharah), which their father strongly opposed. Despite the anti-Jewish boycott the business still continued to do well until 1938. With the "Kristallnacht" on November 9th 1938 things deteriorated rapidly. The family, who had been granted German citizenship, became stateless. During "Kristallnacht" the entire apartment and their shop were devastated. In 1939 Phillippe joined a children's transport to the Netherlands. 1940 the Germans entered the Netherlands. Phillippe's brother Sally and his sister Martha crossed the border illegally to Belgium, where Sally contracted TB and died shortly after the Germans entered the country. Through the help of the "Resistence" Phillippe was reunited with his sister and mother in Antwerp, Belgium. They managed to get to Southern France, where their mother died of exhaustion. Through adventurous circumstances Phillippe managed to cross the border to Switzerland together with his sister and her husband.
    Abstract: He was taken to a military camp near Zurich. It was in poor conditions, but they had a rich cultural life due to many famous inmates such as the singer Josef Schmidt and the writer Manes Sperber. Transfer to a family camp in Morgin, where he got married to his inmate Esther Rothstein. Post-war life in France. 1946 birth of his oldest son Sami in Lyon. French citizenship in 1949. Emerging textile business. Business travels to Israel. Emigration to Brazil in 1952. Export business with his friend Shloyme Draenger.

    Abstract: In his memoir, Joseph Ripp decribes "some of the events that drove them out of Europe and brought them to safety in the United States". He describes the fate of each family member, and their later lives in the United States. Then Joseph Ripp focuses on the time of persecution thorugh the Nazis. In school they were taught the discriminatory racial doctrines, in the outside world his father's business suffered from all different kinds of assaults on his property. It became clear that they had to emigrate. In 1938, young Joseph could take part in a small program sponsered by the American Jewish community which enabld a few hundred children from Germany to escape. He was about to end up in St. Paul, Minnesota. Before that, they made a stop in New York, where he stayed with his aunt Bertha Geller. He describes how impressed he was by all the new things he got to see in New York. After his arrival, he took on several jobs to help his family survive the struggles of war. The memoir moves back to Nazi-Germany and its persecution of Jews. There is an account of Kristallnight and Joseph Ripp's brothers' escape to Holland and England. His parents are dispersed over Europe, his father being held at St. Cyprien internment camp in France, his mother stuck in Antwerp, Belgium. Finally there is a family re-union in the USA. Joesph Ripp then writes about his family's fate in the US. He joins the army and combats in Europe. He receives education from Columbia University, and then meets his future wife, Mimi, a refugee child as well. Both go back to Europe in the 1950s. Joseph Ripp accepted a job offer in Brussels, Belgium, from his wife's uncle. The memoir closes with the upbringing of the next generation. There are several family photos and documents included in the appendix.

    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.
