Memoirs of Roth (nee Freund), born in Oppeln, Upper Silesia, in 1920. Pp. 30-46 describe her life under Nazism, starting with her father's demotion and then prohibition from teaching in German schools. In 1936 he taught at a Jewish college in Berlin, which his daughter and son attended. The "Kristallnacht" pogrom there led to her father's death from illness. Her brother Hans left for England on a "Kindertransport." Roth, unlike her mother, was able to obtain a work visa to Australia, where she moved in 1939. In 1942 her mother was sent first to the Warsaw ghetto, then to the gas chambers at Trawnicki. Twin uncles were experimented on by Mengele, but survived. A small part of the family escaped to Shanghai, but most perished in the Holocaust
