	Introduction
	The custodial history, prior to deposit at the Wiener Library, of the originals of these documents is unknown. Eva Noack-Mosse , a Jewess, was born in 1908 in Berlin, the daughter of Max Mosse, professor of medicine. She married a non-Jew, Moritz Noack, in 1934, with whom she lived until she was deported to Theresienstadt in February 1945. Whilst an inmate, she worked as a typist in the statistical office. This diary covers the period of her incarceration at Theresienstadt from 12 February 1945 to 1 July 1945 and is preceded by an 11 page personal account of life under the Nazis from 1934. An addition to the original foreward, dated 1975, suggests that this version is a transcript copy. In addition to the diary there are a number of her personal documents form the period. The diary is dated Obersdorf, Allgäu, 1945.
