Abstract:
The memoir contains the first chapter of Luise David's autobiography. Recollections of her mother Franziska Gruenbaum, who - after a love affair to an unsuitable partner - was married to the physician Albert Dreyfuss in 1908. The couple had two children, Fritz and Luise. Her husband served in World War One. After years of depression and frequent sojourns in different sanatoria, Franziska Dreyfuss commited suicide in 1919. Luise was sent to her father's family in Landau. The family was reunited again a year later, when Albert Dreyfuss married his second wife Alice Oppenheimer in 1920. Celebration of holidays at the Dreyfuss family in Landau. Weekend outings in the countryside. Recollection of the author's childhood with various nannys and governesses. Early interest in dress making and clothing. Awareness of her different status as the daughter of the town's physician and as a Jewish girl. Encounters with anti-Semitism. Luise was enrolled in the "lyceum" (girl's school), where she became an excellent student. Rising Nazi movement. Her brother Fritz emigrated to Switzerland in 1933.
