Zählappell : als Arzt im Konzentrationslager

Memoirs of a Transylvanian Jew, born in 1909 in Neumarkt (Târgu Mureş), Romania, who was one of the last non-Aryan medical students in Leipzig. Between 1933-36 he worked in the Jewish hospital in Budapest, and later in Vienna. As a regimental medical officer, he was drafted by the Romanian army and sent to Moldavia, where he married in 1940. Because of political reasons he returned to Neumarkt, where he was arrested in March 1944 by the Germans. In April he and his wife were deported to Auschwitz; she did not survive. From there he was deported to Mauthausen and then to Melk, where he did forced labor. He joined the resistance there, working as a physician. In March 1945 he survived a death march to Ebensee, where he was liberated. His wife drowned in the Cap Arcona incident. Originalausg. 207 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm
