Dr. Seligmann Baer Bamberger, a chemistry and physics teacher at a Jewish high school in Hamburg, received this booklet as a gift from his students before his emigration. Each page of the booklet features a photograph of one of the students, and a humorous poem about the character of the student or an incident from his or her experiences at school. After the war, Bamberger annotated the booklet with dates of students' deportation and death.
