  • 1942, May 3, Sunday afternoon – Last Thursday morning at nine I was questioned at the currency office, Amalienstrasse. Much more brusquely than recently at the customs investigation department. “You were an accessory—you have already admitted knowing of the existence of a blocked account.” It took a long time, before I was able to explain what I had already explained the first time. It will not help me much… **p 46
  • 1944, May 4, Thursday evening – LTI. This morning as I was walking past a shop window in Amalienstrasse (fighting with the wind, heart trouble) a board game advertised as “The Total Game” (cf. May 3).
