Abstract:
5 diaries written by Margaret Kahn's mother, Lisbeth Schmidt. Most of her early writings refer to travelling across Europe. A brief description is provided of events in 1933 when Nazis took over power in Germany. During Kristallnacht, her husband Fritz is taken to the police. They are able to leave Germany, first to Holland, then to the USA where they settle in New York. From 1950 on, all entries were written in English. Enclosed is also a letter from her parents to her daughter Margrit for her birthday, dated January 16, 1941, Amsterdam.
