  • 1942, June 16, Tuesday afternoon – This morning to Dr. Simon for treatment. The man both doctor and dentist, almost fifty, a little of the temper and manner of Dr. Isakowitz, but more boastful and garrulous, yet not without an intellect. He still has a fine peacetime apartment on the first floor of 15 Reichsstrasse, a large house beside the Orthodox church, but no longer has any staff. He opens the door himself, carries out the treatment alone, in complicated cases is assisted by his wife. She is Aryan and is not allowed to accompany him when he is called out to a Jewish patient. Among the Jews everything now spreads with fairy-tale-like speed: Did I want to speak to Frau Gaehde, who would be waiting for me after the treatment. (Who had told her that I would be at Dr. Simon’s?!) **p70
