    Keywords: Popper, Wolf A., ; Jewish religious education. ; Jews Identity. ; Austria. ; United States Emigration and immigration 1933-1945. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: This memoir is a reflection about the events following the Anschluss of Austria to Nazi-Germany, an attempt to understand what was not comprehensible to the little boy the author was by that time. It shows how deeply the author's fate informed his later life, e.g. the decision to put his daugther to a Yeshiva, to provide her with a Jewish identity he never felt for himself. This manuscript is a valuable addendum to the more fact based memoir written by Mr. Wolf A. Popper nine years earlier. He states that it took 50 years for his memories to come back to his mind. Unfortunately, the memoir is incomplete.

Scarce contact with his paternal grandmother, who did not approve of her son’s conversion. Rudolf grew up in a family, where religion was hardly mentioned. His father was an outspoken Socialist.

    The Philippe Halsmann Affair : [1918-1973]. (1973)
    [Melrose, Massachusetts],
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 66 pages : , typescript.
    Year of publication: 1973
    Keywords: Halsman, Philippe. ; Dreyfus, Alfred, ; Ross, Martin H., ; Ruzicka, Ernst, ; Halsmann, Morduch Max, ; Ruzicka family. ; Buchenwald (Concentration camp) ; Anschluss movement, 1918-1938. ; Antisemitism 1918-1938. ; Jews Persecution 1933-1945. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Austria. ; Tyrol (Austria) ; United States Emigration and immigration 1933-1945. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Manuscripts.
    Abstract: The memoirs were written in the 1970s in the United States. Description of family background. His father Dr. Ernst Ruzicka came from an assimilated Jewish family in Vienna, whereas his mother was born to an orthodox Jewish family in Galicia, Eastern Europe. The marriage only lasted a few years. Martin was raised by a Catholic governess, who contributed to his confusion in religious matters. He was enrolled in a local Gymnasium, and later on continued his studies at the Vienna University.The main part of the memoir concentrates on a detailed reflection and description of the “Halsman-trial” in 1928, where a young Jewish man from Latvia was charged with the murder of his father during an alpine tour in Tyrol. This trial contributed to an open outburst of anti-Semitism in Austria and even received international attention, comparable to the Dreyfus scandal in France a few decades earlier. The author reflects on the different stages of the trial and the increasing anti-Semitism during that process. He also describes the effect on his assimilated paternal family, who expressed their identification with the young Phillippe Halsmann as well as their worries about the injustice done. The father of the author published various articles in the “Neue Freie Presse” about the case and was involved in the trial regarding a crucial witness of the defence. He eventually wrote a book about the Halsman case, which was published in 1930.
    Abstract: On the day of the Anschluss in March of 1938, the author left Austria together with his brother and eventually emigrated to the United States. His father originally disapproved of their decision, assuming nobody would dare to lay a finger on the family of a World War One veteran. He later on was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he perished in 1941.
    Abstract: The memoirs end with a reflection on the parallels between the lives of Halsman's and his own family during a trip to Austria in 1973. It includes a petition to the Austrian president Franz Jonas to reverse the verdict in the Halsman case in order to remove a stigma not only from Halsman, but also from Austria.
