Consists of two documents, one entitled "Meine 'Sommer Jugendfreundin' Gerda Fischer" and the other entitled "Die Tage und Nächte des Nazi-Terrors 1938/39," both by Dr. Erich Katz, originally of Gross-Enzersdorf, Austria. In "Die Tage und Nächte des Nazi-Terrors 1938/39," Dr. Katz describes his memories of the Anschluss, Kristallnacht, and his experiences in Dachau after Kristallnacht, and in "Meine 'Sommer Jugendfreundin' Gerda Fischer," Dr. Katz recalls his memories of a childhood friend who did not survive the war. Dr. Katz and his family emigrated to Ecuador in 1939.
