Waisenhausstrasse, view into pedestrian Prager Strasse
- 1942, March 16, Monday – Standing out from the crowd: a Hungarian Jew, blond, Europeanlooking, with the Hungarian’s broken-sounding German. Naturalized, his Aryan wife has a shop for baby clothes on Prager Strasse and is now requesting him as a worker. He tells us that in Hungary the Jewish laws have gone through only to a very limited extent. No star, doctors still practicing. **p27
- 1942, December 31, Thursday evening – In the morning a very tiring walk to the bank (rent). Community (New Year’s greetings to the camp, newspaper completely without content), Steinitz. Shortly beforehand, coming from the dentist, he had been stopped on Prager Strasse by a Gestapo man: “You’ve no business being here; clear off onto the side streets!” — In the afternoon laid low by severe stomach pains—cabbage and potatoes, potatoes and cabbage. — Very bitter mood. Everyone with whom we spent last New Year’s Eve has been blotted out by murder, suicide, and evacuation. **p181
