- Summary
- Contains accounts by the Austrian Jewish sports journalist Maximilian Reich and his non-Jewish wife, Emilie, of the months Maximilian was interned, mainly in Dachau, in 1938. The couple wrote about their experiences shortly after their arrival in England in November 1938; their daughter, Henriette Mandl, found the manuscripts which are presented here. Reich was arrested in Vienna in March 1938 and transported to Dachau a month later with the so-called "Prominententransport", which included prominent non-Jewish politicians as well as Jewish journalists, writers, and artists. Jews and non-Jews were separated already in Vienna, and were interned in different blocks in Dachau. Jews were given the hardest tasks, but some of the political prisoners were also subjected to particularly harsh treatment. Reich maintains, however, that he did not experience antisemitism on the part of other inmates, and that a spirit of "camaraderie" reigned in the camp. In a historical overview (pp. 13-34), Neugebauer contends that Reich was liberated mainly due to British objections to the arrest of the prominent Austrians. Emilie's memoirs (pp. 257-275), "Als mein Mann in Dachau war", complement her husband's, and trace her vain efforts to free him. She did, however, succeed in arranging entry permits to Britain.
