No full textThe Hans and Gerda Lindner family collection contains photographs, correspondence, finance and legal documents, a large stamp collection, plus a small amount of family papers. Prominent topics include daily activities, family vacations, and the Lindner family’s as well as business’s finances.Hans Heinrich Lindner, born in 1904, was a sports enthusiast who grew up in Breslau, Germany (today Wrocław, Poland), and immigrated to the United States following internment in Buchenwald. Hans’ father, Alfred Lindner, owned two shoe stores, one in Breslau and another one in Bytom. Hans participated in track, fox-hunting, and motorsport racing.Hans went to England between 1945 and 1946 where he worked at Dagmar Candy Company and then was the owner of "day-of-the-week" undergarments. Hans married Gerda Kronkheim and they had two sons, Steven and Peter. Gerda was a schoolmate of reporter Robert Lochner with whom she corresponded throughout the 1950s. Gerda's sister Ilse got married to Rudi Lichtenstein. There was a legal dispute between Hans and his brother Berthold Lindner regarding the distribution of their father's assets.Finding aid available onlineProcesse
Gerda L. Schulman Collection 1938-1993
No full textThis collection consists of two folders: one containing Gerda Schulman's Austrian Heritage Collection questionnaire with biographical details of her experience in Vienna before the Anschluss and subsequent immigration, as well as degrees and professional certificates. The second folder contains publications by Gerda Schulman from her professional career as a psychologist. The second folder also includes a letter from 1938, originally published in the book "Thomas Mann Letters".digitizedGerda Schulman (née Lang) was born 1915 in Vienna, Austria. She finished her law studies at the University of Vienna just a few weeks before the Anschluss in March of 1938. She and her Dutch husband, Hans fled to Amsterdam, and they immigrated to the U.S. in 1939 where she started her studies in psychology. She eventually became a family therapist and a published author of scientific works.Itemized list of collection in folder 1Austrian Heritage CollectionProcessed for digitizatio

Gerda Lerner Family Collection 1939-1978
No full textThe collection contains materials related to several members of the Kronstein/Neumann/Mueller families; both original documents as well as additional biographical information and excerpts from Gerda Lerner's book "A Death of One's Own". The bulk consists of correspondence, mainly written from Ilona Kronstein's exile in Nice to her daughter Gerda in the United States. In one letter, Ilona Kronstein describes a brief stay in the Gurs camp. Most of the correspondence has been summarized by John and Eva Englander, the summaries are included in the folders.Austrian Heritage CollectionGerda Lerner, October 2003; April 2004 (Addenda 1)The Gerda Lerner Papers are on deposit at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute. See also the Nora Kronstein-Rosen Family Collection at the LBI (AR 25257)Ilona Kronstein (nee Neumann) was born in Budapest in 1897 to Sigmund Neumann and Emma Deutsch. In 1918, she met Robert Kronstein. The couple married a year later and moved to Vienna. They had two daughters: Gerda, born in 1920, and Nora, born in 1925. Between 1928 and 1933 Ilona studied art with Johannes Itten. She opened her own studio in 1933. In 1938, after several weeks in a Gestapo prison, she fled with her two daughters, Gerda and Nora, to Liechtenstein, where her husband was already waiting. After a few months in Vaduz, she went to a small town near Nice and solely devoted herself to art. It was in Nice that she became friends with the painter Rudolf Ray. In 1940 she was detained in the concentration camp at Gurs for several weeks and from 1941 onwards she began to show signs of multiple sclerosis. Her family managed with great difficulty to get her back to Liechtenstein in 1942 and to obtain medical assistance for her in Switzerland. She died in Zurich in 1948.In 2000, the Jewish Museum Vienna exhibited drawings and pastels by Ilona Kronstein, which her daughters Gerda Lerner and Nora Kronstein-Rosen donated to the museum in 1997.Ilona's sister Margit Neuer (born 1899) was a physician and perished in Auschwitz. Her second sister Klara (born 1903) married Alexander Mueller, a psychiatrist and close co-worker of Alfred Adler. As a stateless person he was denied residence in several countries and forcibly sent across the border back to Germany, until he finally obtained residence in Holland. After the Nazi takeover of the Netherlands, he and his wife fled to Budapest, where they survived the Russian siege and he survived Eichmann's death march to Austria. After the end of the war they first returned to The Netherlands, then found refuge in Switzerland, where Alexander Mueller accepted a position at the University of Zuerich. He died in 1968.Elizabeth Breznitz, née Klein, was born in Léva (then Hungary, today Levice, Slovakia). Her first husband, Leo Kalmer, died in a concentration camp in Bavaria; she was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945, but her father and her stepmother perished. After the war she lived in Plzen, Czech Republic. Her letters are of great interest to understand the daily life of a Holocaust survivor in Czechoslovakia.Gerda Kronstein came to the US in 1939, where she married Carl Lerner in 1941. She received her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1966. She is one of the founders of women's history and a former President of the Organization of American Historians. In 1972, she founded the first graduate (M.A.) program in women's history in the US at Sarah Lawrence College. In 1980 she founded the first PH.D. program in women's history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has won many honors, including 17 honorary degrees and is the author of 13 books.See also the catalog of an exhibition held at the Juedisches Museum Wien in 2000: Die Welt der Ili Kronstein = the world of Ili Kronstein : Werke 1938-1943 / herausgegeben von Werner Hanak im Auftrag des Juedischen Museums Wien.

Germanium Detector Array, GERDA
No full textThe GERmanium Detector Array, GERDA, is designed to search for 'neutrinoless double beta decay' (0v2ß) in 76Ge. The high-purity segmented Ge detectors will be directly submerged and operated in liquid N2 or Ar. The measurement of the half-life time of 0v2ß decay will provide information about the absolute neutrino mass scale and indirectly, the hierarchy. The design goal of GERDA is to reach a sensitivity of 0.2 eV on the effective Majorana neutrino mass (mßß). The GERDA experiment is located in hall A of the Grand Sasso national lab (LNGS) and the construction will start in 2006.JRC.D.4 - Isotope measurement
Calibration of the GERDA experiment
No full textThe GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) collaboration searched for neutrinoless double-β decay in 76Ge with an array of about 40 high-purity isotopically-enriched germanium detectors. The experimental signature of the decay is a monoenergetic signal at Qββ =2039.061(7) keV in the measured summed energy spectrum of the two emitted electrons. Both the energy reconstruction and resolution of the germanium detectors are crucial to separate a potential signal from various backgrounds, such as neutrino-accompanied double-β decays allowed by the Standard Model. The energy resolution and stability were determined and monitored as a function of time using data from regular 228Th calibrations. In this work, we describe the calibration process and associated data analysis of the full GERDA dataset, tailored to preserve the excellent resolution of the individual germanium detectors when combining data over several years

An improved limit on the neutrinoless double-electron capture of <sup>36</sup>Ar with GERDA
No full textThe GERmanium Detector Array (Gerda) experiment operated enriched high-purity germanium detectors in a liquid argon cryostat, which contains 0.33% of 36Ar, a candidate isotope for the two-neutrino double-electron capture (2νECEC) and therefore for the neutrinoless double-electron capture (0νECEC). If detected, this process would give evidence of lepton number violation and the Majorana nature of neutrinos. In the radiative 0νECEC of 36Ar, a monochromatic photon is emitted with an energy of 429.88 keV, which may be detected by the Gerda germanium detectors. We searched for the 36Ar 0νECEC with Gerda data, with a total live time of 4.34 year (3.08 year accumulated during Gerda Phase II and 1.26 year during Gerda Phase I). No signal was found and a 90% CL lower limit on the half-life of this process was established T1/2 > 1.5 · 1022 year
