Neue Gasse no longer exists, it used to be between Rampische Gasse (today Pillnitzer Straße) and Bürgerwiese
- 1943, October 31, Sunday evening – All week long, Schlüter’s struggle, bordering on agony; yesterday, Saturday, a tremendous farewell speech to the Aryans—”our Jewish fellow workers—I can say that, after all, we are all human beings!—will remain another one to two months.” Joy and reassurance. At midday today Strelzyn turns up here: Order from the labor exchange by way of the Community: Schlüter completely closed down, the Jewish group scattered; I myself to Bauer, Neue Gasse, tomorrow morning. So I was at Schlüter’s from April 19 until October 30,1943. Very depressed. **p271
- 1943, November 14, Sunday midday and later – Since Monday, November 1, paid as an “unskilled worker” by the company of Adolf Bauer, Neue Gasse, box factory (pharmacy packets and bags, in particular proofed card containers for creams and ointments), but loaned out (see below) to Thiemig & Mobius, Paper Processing. **p272
- 1943, December 11, Saturday morning – I started at Bauer on Monday, November 1. An old, inconspicuous house in Neue Gasse, but with side and rear buildings. An elegant director’s office or meeting room. Herr Bauer appeared, a man of about thirty- five years of age, accompanied by our chargeman, the economist Dr. Werner Lang. I heard afterward that the two have been friends for a long time, belonged to the same sports club. Bauer said: “It was a lot of trouble getting you here, because we have enough men, are supposed to hire women. **p275
- 1943, December 17, Friday toward evening – Today I really felt so unwell—upset stomach—that I did not even have to lie. I reported sick at two o’clock, especially as my foreman had been grumbling again that I was getting too little done, and went to Simon’s. From there to Bauer in Neue Gasse. I would like to be taken on there: The journey to Mobius in the morning causes me serious angina pains. Werner Lang would like me to talk to Katz, and so I shall call on him tomorrow. **p279
The Bauer Company was at no 32
