Summary
A biography of a Jewish woman born to the Rosenblatt family in Vienna in 1905. Relates the difficulties she endured after the Anschluss until she, her husband, Richard Gitter, and her daughter managed to obtain visas and emigrate to the USA. In July 1938 they left Vienna for Paris. Describes the gradual deterioration of the situation of the Jews in Vienna: isolation, persecution, arrests of friends, etc. Her brother was deported to Dachau, from where he was released after nine months due to her father's intervention; he emigrated to England. Her father also managed to escape the Nazis, fleeing to Shanghai.
