השלטון הנאצי, by Eliyahu Stern. Jerusalem, 1978. - On the Vistula Facing East, by Frank Meisler. London: André Deutsch Ltd., 1996. ISBN: 0233990224
- Internationally-renowned Israeli sculptor Frank Meisler's Boss family lived in Danzig from at least 1807 (formerly, Den Bosch in Holland, and, originally, Boaz in Spain). These memoirs largely focus on Frank's childhood experiences in Danzig during the 1930s, including personal and intimate observations about anti-Semitism and the rise of Nazism in the city, the exploits of his Danzig family, and his early adulthood in England, where he was sent via the Kindertransport from Danzig. High on Danzig atmospherics and an engaging read. Contains mature themes.
