"A Memorial for My Parents and All Victims of Tyranny, 1933-1945," a 12-page typed account in German by Sternheim of the lives of his parents, Rudolf of Ergste in Westphalia and Helene of Bensheim, especially under the Nazi regime when they died in a concentration camp. The account is a poetic one, although based on scholarship as well as on his parents' letters and memories, and includes a title page in English with a photograph of Stuttgart Jews being deported to camps in 1941.
