- Summary
- An account in the form of notes and impressions relating Eisenstein's experiences in a special Italian concentration camp for women, one of five such camps established in 1940. She was born in Vienna in 1914 as Maria Luisa Moldauer, to Polish Jewish immigrants. In 1936 she went to Firenze to study at the university. She was arrested in June 1940 on the basis of the racial laws and interned in the Lanciano camp, in the province of Chieti, together with 74 other women, mostly foreign Jews. She was there for five months. Afterwards, she was given "free internment" in Guardiagrele, where she married the Romanian Jewish doctor Samuel Eisenstein. After the German invasion, she and her husband fled to the south of Italy which had been liberated by the Allies. In 1948 they immigrated to the USA. Moldauer's handwritten notes were discovered in December 1943 by an American army officer and published in October 1944 in Rome.
