Notes

  1. Further unpublished sources esp. worth highlighting: pp. 54, 85, 92, 94, 96, 104-105, 148-149, 244-247, 257.

  2. See http://kriegsbriefe.ophen.org/ (last downloaded: October 21, 2019). In a telling testimony to the difficulties inherent in new media, it already underwent a migration since its inception.

  3. Sepp 1988; which was incidentally also related to an exhibition.

  4. Instead of finishing his habilitation thesis, Moskiewicz served “selflessly” as a war-time psychiatrist in Breslau, but “his frail health was not up to the demands of his hard service” (Hönigswald 1919, p. 58). His death was described as a suicide by Stein herself (Stein 2005, p. 89), who also hinted at private reasons.

  5. For example, Gerda Walther was warned “not to go so close to the front without pressing cause” (Walther 1960, p. 199). Husserl, too, complained of the repeated air raids which “became unbearable” (Husserl 1994, vol. IV, p. 420) and led to “empty lecture halls” (vol. VI, p. 72).

  6. Ms. MTA KIK, 2392/81 (an edition of this correspondence is underway by the present author and Bettina Szabados).
