    Abstract: The memoir starts with the Wolf family's arrival in New York City in February 1939, including a brief description of the ship Queen Mary. Then the memoir jumps back in time, to the year 1933:.fFamily life, their live-in maid who had to leave the family in 1937. The two older siblings Paul and Ellen were exposed to anti-Semitism in their schools, and were sent by their parents to an international boarding school and a Jewish school respectively. Marlies Plotnik then talks about her grandparents and the family's leather business, Adler & Oppenheimer Lederfabrik AG. She recollects the events of Kristallnacht in Darmstadt. She saw that both the conservative and orthodox synagogues were ablaze. It follows a detailed genealogical description of her family background. Then "Life in Pre-Hitler Darmstadt" is covered. Marlies Plotnik writes about the daily routine of her middle class family. Her parents attended the cultural events of Darmstadt, theater, the ball season, etc. The second part of the memoir is dedicated to the departure from Germany, the emigration via England, and the immigration into the USA. The family settled in Washington Heights, as did so many other Jewish families from Germany. Attached are family pedigrees, family photographs, passports (copies), and documents.

    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: 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.

    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: 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: This memoir was written for a Holocaust Survivors' Webpage for people who went to Hunter College High School, New York City, NY. Lisa F. Barclay's memoir is short and concise. She talks briefly about her family's background and her childhood in pre-war Vienna. The "Anschluss" of Austria to Nazi Germany in March 1938 changed everything. The family was forced to emigrate. Her parents were a mixed couple - the father Jewish, the mother a Catholic. They got help from a number of Catholic friends, which gave them a few more options than a Jewish family. They got the US affidavit through an American relative, but had to wait long for the actual visas, since her father was born in Hungary and therefore considered under the quota for Hungarian citizens. After leaving Austria in 1938, they temporarliy lived in Paris, France, and Lisbon, Portugal. The memoir ends with a description of the living conditions after their arrival in New York.

    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.

    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: Edith Liebenthal starts her memoir with description of Vienna where she was born. She describes famous buildings, and buildings that were important to her personally. She states that "living in Vienna and attending school there imbued me with a sense of pride, even love, for the city and country of my birth". She discusses art in Austria which she thinks of as the greatest source of pride. Her family had a clear bourgeois background, being involved in Vienna's rich cultural life. The family went on summer vacations, and during winter had skiing vacations in the Alps. Her harmonic childhood but suddenly disrupted by the Anschluss. Her father lost his job and her mother lost her customers. They had no friends in the US to get an affidavit, but a childhood friend of her father's finally guaranteed for them. Edith escaped on a Kindertransport to England, where she stayed with the Kingdon family in Bristol. Her parents managed to get domestic visas in England. Although only staying in England for 15 months, this period of time had the greatest impact on her life, as Ms. Liebenthal notes in her memoir. She writes about her days at school, different eating habits in Britain, the outbreak of the war, and a temporary reunion with her parents. After the outbreak of World War 2, she had to leave Bristol within 3 days, because it was declared an "alien protected area". Still, she could graduate from high school. Then the visas arrived, and after some obstacles they made it to New York on the liner "Cameronia". She found a job immediately, through a girl she had befriended on the ship. During the first weeks she sustained the family financially. However, it was difficult for her to befriend new people. In March 1947, she met Kurt, her future husband. They married one year later. The remaining chapters cover the first years of marriage, her job as social security administrator, her retirement years in Houston, Texas.
    Abstract: The memoir ends with a portrait of the Friedler family and includes a pedigree on the last page.

    Abstract: Dedicated to his daughter Cindy, Wolf A. Popper's memoir covers the events following the Anschluss. He describes how life changed for him as a little boy, how people around him changed, and how he was struggling to understand what was going on around him. He explains the emigration route of the family, and finding temporary shelter in England. He writes about the various difficulties he had to adapt to the new culture. The family boarded a cargo ship to escape from Europe. But the ship was followed by German submarines, so it had to turn the engines off in order to escape silently. The captain lost track of the route, and they ended up in Brazil. They went to New York, and soon moved to Massachusetts, where his father had found a job. The memoir ends when they moved back to New York, shortly before the US got involved in the war.
