  THIS BOOK COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN without its primary source material—Gustav Kleinmann’s concentration camp diary and Fritz Kleinmann’s memoir, which came to me through Professor Reinhold Gärt‑

  ner of University of Innsbruck. Reinhold helped Fritz publish both documents in the book Doch der Hund will nicht krepieren (Innsbruck University Press, 2012), and has provided indispensable cooperation in my initial research for this book, for which I thank him.

  I am profoundly grateful to Kurt Kleinmann, who lived through the Anschluss and the Nazi occupation of Vienna, for the many hours of inter‑

  views and months of correspondence. Without Kurt’s generous and tireless help, this tale would have been far less rich in depth and detail. Peter Patten, Gustav’s grandson, has also very kindly contributed interviews and correspon‑

  dence. I am grateful also to Rachel Schine, who helped put me in touch with the American branch of the family. The Austrian side of the family has also provided support. The encouragement of Pete
r Kleinmann, Victor Zehetbauer and his father, Ernst, as well as Richard Wilczek, has been indispensable.

  A draft English translation of Doch der Hund prepared by John Rie was my first contact with this story and provided a vital foundation for creating my own translation of Gustav’s diary and Fritz’s memoir. For the preparation of the Hebrew section titles, I am grateful for the expert advice given by Keren Joseph‑Browning.

  Many archives and their archivists have provided me with guidance, docu‑

  ments, and images, and have patiently dealt with my queries. I am grateful to all of them. They include the Austrian State Archive, Vienna, for documents on Gustav Kleinmann’s WWI record; Ewa Bazan, head of the Bureau for For‑

  mer Prisoners at Auschwitz‑Birkenau Memorial Museum; Douglas Bal man and Georgiana Gomez, access supervisor, University of Southern California 333
