Terrified that should this opportunity be missed, the window of escape from Nazi Germany might close forever, Emil and Natascha chose to risk somehow getting Karin past emigration and customs officials without their noticing her condition.

On May 8, 1945, at the news of Germany ’ s surrender and the fall of the Third Reich, Natascha made the mistake of reminding him of this vow, and in lieu of a champagne toast, he indulged in what was intended to be the smoking of a single, celebratory cigarette.

Natascha Engel was born in Berlin, Germany to a German father and an English mother.

Stegemann was a particularly close friend, and made portraits of Emil, Natascha and the two children born in Hamburg.

On August 15, 1929, Emil married Natalia Naumovna Jasny ( Natascha ), a young Russian émigré who had been a student in several of his classes.

One of their shared interests was photography, and when Emil bought a Leica for their joint use ( a Leica A, the first commercial model of this legendary camera ), Natascha began chronicling the life of the family, as well as the city of Hamburg.

Emil, in turn, took many fine and evocative portraits of Natascha.

In January 1933 — a tragically fateful month in German history — Natascha gave birth to their first child, Karin.

Still, Emil ’ s situation became increasingly precarious, not only because Natascha was half Jewish, but also because Emil made no secret of his distaste for the Hitler regime.

Natascha recalled going down to the newsstand on the corner one day and being warned in hushed tones by the man from whom she and Emil bought their paper that a man had daily been watching their apartment from across the street.

Once tipped off, she and Emil became very aware of the watcher ( Natascha liked to refer to him as their “ spy ”), and even rather enjoyed the idea of his being forced to follow them on the long walks they loved taking in the afternoons to a café far out in the countryside.

Natascha ’ s Jewish father and her sister, seeing the handwriting on the wall, had already left for the U. S. in the summer of 1933.

As half-Jewish, Natascha ’ s status was, if not ultimately quite hopeless, certainly not good.

He asked his father-in-law, by then resident in Washington D. C., to draft and have notarized an affidavit attesting to the Christian lineage of his late wife, Natascha ’ s mother.

By this time, to be precise, on July 15, 1937, because of Natascha ’ s status as “ Mischling ersten Grades ,” Emil had lost his post at the University — technically, compelled into early retirement — on the grounds of paragraph 6 of the Act to Restore the Professional Civil Service ( Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums ) of April 7, 1933.

This is why each of their residences in the United States bore such a striking resemblance to the rooms photographed so beautifully by Natascha in their Hamburg apartment ( see Natascha A. Brunswick, “ Hamburg: Wie Ich Es Sah ,” Dokumente der Photographie 6, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, 2001, pp. 48 – 53 ).

Börger is a village and a municipality in the district Emsland in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Börger is part of the administrative unit of Sögel.

Northern European Germanic tribes may have settled in the area of the Northern Hümmling ( Northern Emsland ) about the birth of Christ, and it is commonly believed that the first documented mentioning of Börger was around the year AD 854.

Nevertheless, it is reasonable to say that all four tribes ( Saxons, Frisians, Amsivians and Chauken ) are ancestors of modern-day residents of Börger.

Börger is believed to have originated with Kaiser Karl the Great.

There were originally 18 farms in Börger, from which the village developed.

The population of Börger went into hiding in the swamps.

It is being handed down that a inhabitant of Börger ( Albert Dillen ) was abducted and released after promising not to pillage the village by paying a ransom.

The plague occurred in intervals since the 14th century and also hit Börger.

The church tower in Börger was first mentioned in 1523, when the chapel was renovated.

After a while the people of the Hümmling followed this movement and at this time Börger had a Protestant preacher, a former farmer and soldier.

In 1659 it was declared that Börger would become Catholic again.

Börger could not sustain its own priest until 1652 because there was little or no surplus of food.

The old church ( Eschkirche ) and the cemetery in Börger were expanded several times.

The region of Börger used to be 130 square kilometres in size before the daughter communities of Neubörger and Breddenberg formed.

New farmers ( Neubauern ) and small farmers from Börger settled there.

After ten years of free use the settlers had to pay high tributes to the nobility, the duchy of Arenberg, but also to the municipal of Börger.

Following the example of the Netherlands, the northern part of Börger the cutting of peat became an integral part of the economy.

In this year the population of Börger increased ; this was the blooming time of artisanship.

In 2004, Börger had about 3000 inhabitants, Neubörger about 1600 and Breddenberg nearly 1000.
