Background

Scope and content:

The memoirs concern Jewish life in Russia, the revolutionary movement in the early 1900s (especially student attitudes), and the 1917 revolution. For the 1920s and 1930s, the memoirs detail the growing difficulties Jews experienced in Germany. A good portion of the memoirs is devoted to the author's 1935 trip to Palestine, which he describes in great detail.

Biographical / historical:

Max Koppelmann was a Russian Jewish émigré in Germany. He was born in the Russian Empire (Mogilev) in 1882 and lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg prior to the turn of the century. In 1901 he became a student at the Warsaw Polytechnic. Between 1907 and 1914 he was involved in the family business: grain trade and breweries. In the course of the First World War, Koppelmann engaged in the production of munitions. Koppelmann left Russia during the Civil War and settled in Berlin (by 1921), where he lived until 1936, at which time he left Germany altogether.
