Letters of an antifascist: 1941

Abstract

These texts record daily life under National Socialism during the Second World War as it was experienced by Charlotte Angermann in Dresden. Angermann describes bombing raids on other German cities, the rationing of food and shortages of consumer goods, and the deaths of friends and family members. These short journal entries are written in the form of a direct address to Charlotte’s daughter, Marianne Angermann-Bielschowsky, who lived with her husband, the German-Jewish physician Franz Bielschowsky, in Great Britain where they both worked as researchers at the University of Sheffield.
