Scope and Content

This memoir, written by cousins Paul Bäecher and Ivan Backer, consists primarily of transcribed oral histories, describes his life and the lives of other family members from Czechoslovakia, of which some fled and immigrated to the United States, while others were caught, interned in Terezin (a.k.a. Theresienstadt), and suffered on Nazi death marches. The memoir also contains genealogical charts relating to the Bäecher family.
