Susi Friedmann Kirsch Family Collection 1846-2007 Bulk dates: 1914-2007
No full textThis collection contains the papers of Susanne (Susi) Friedmann-Kirsch (1926-), documenting her family’s history in Austria, Eastern Europe, and Israel, from the mid 1800s to the 2000s. The collection mostly holds vital documents and genealogical materials, including family trees, photographs, correspondence, family narratives, diaries, and other writings.The following families are mentioned in this collection: Fessler, Fraenkl, Friedmann, Kirsch, Kohnberger, Morberger, Ostwald, Schmidl, Speyer, Strassmann, Taussig, and Wallach.The following individuals are mentioned in this collection: Richard Beer-Hofmann, Peter Michael Braunwarth, Otto Frankl-Lundburg, Arnold Friedmann, Else Friedmann, Sidonie Friedmann, Susi Friedmann-Kirsch, Gad Gerhard Kirsch, Karl Edgar Kirsch, Hansi Kirsch-Schmidl, Gerty Perger, Clara Ruge, Hugo Wilhelm Schmidl, Johann Sara Schmidl, Johanna Schmidl (1898-1993), Samuel Schmidl, and Nanny Speyer Wallach.Susanne (Susi) Friedmann-Kirsch was born in 1926 in Vienna, Austria. Friedmann-Kirsch, her brother Gerhard (Gad), and their parents Karl Kirsch and Johanna (Hansi) Schmidl Kirsch fled Vienna on August 17, 1938 to Yugoslavia. In Sarajevo, they were issued German passports without a Jewish demarcation and were able to travel throughout Central and Eastern Europe on various travel visas. During this time, Gerhard received a visa and emigrated to Tel-Aviv. In 1940, the family obtained Argentinean passports and moved to Turkey. In Mersin, they received passage on a freighter headed toward Haifa, Palestine, where they docked on May 1, 1941. They were arrested, and sent to Atlit, a camp for illegal immigrants. Eventually, the family was released and by 1943, was settled in Tel-Aviv. In 1949, Friedmann-Kirsch married Arnold (Aron) Friedmann and immigrated to New York in 1950. They had two children, Daniel (1954) and Ronald (1957). In 1972, Arnold took a teaching position at the University of Massachusetts, and the family moved to Amherst, MA.Austrian Heritage CollectionProcesseddigitize

SEAC Memory Parity Checker
No full textThis memory checking unit was built in 1952 by Russell A. Kirsch and colleagues for the Standards Electric Automatic Computer (SEAC), a computer built and operated by the National Bureau of Standards from 1950-1964. The unit was intended to check for possible errors introduced by the acoustic memory used in the SEAC. The checking circuitry was built to have a margin of reliability considerably greater than that of the circuits being checked. The memory check functioned by comparing the data that entered the acoustic memory with the same data as it exited the memory. The memory parity checker contained electrical delay lines, germanium diodes wired into vacuum tube bases, and the 6AN5 vacuum tube, which was the last form of vacuum tube used in computers before being replaced by transistors.22 x 47 x 30 c
Arthrobrachus (Heteracrius) decoratus Kirsch 1865
No full textArthrobrachus (Heteracrius) decoratus Kirsch, 1865 Arthrobrachus (Heteracrius) decoratus Kirsch, 1865: 92. The holotype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. Nickerl): HOLOTYPE (J): ‘Kirsch / typ. [hw] // Heteracrius / decoratus. / Kirsch Bogota [hw, green label, black margin] // Syn- / typus [p, red label, black margin] // Astylus J / (Heteracrius) / decoratus KIRSCH [hw] / K. Majer det. [p] 1980 [hw]’. Current status. Astylus (Heteracrius) decoratus (Kirsch, 1865), see PIC (1920). Remark. KIRSCH (1865) mentions a single female in the original description. However, no other type specimen was found in the Senckenberg Museum für Tierkunde, Dresden, Germany (O. Jäger, pers. comm. 2012), where the collection of Kirsch is housed. Therefore we suggest to consider our specimen as the holotype, in which the author wrongly determined its sex.Published as part of Hájek, Jiří & Švihla, Vladimír, 2012, Catalogue of the type specimens of beetles (Coleoptera) deposited in the National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic, pp. 603-654 in Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 52 (2) on pages 610-611, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.533282
