http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84042964

Eight pages of autobiographical notes covering Barschall's memories of growing up in Berlin during the 1920s and 1930s, where he attended popular lectures by Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Otto Hahn, and Peter Debye; the political situation, which forced him to leave for England and later France, where he started physics studies at the Sorbonne; his return to Berlin in 1934 and later to Philipps-Universität Marburg; and work on his Ph.D. at Princeton University in 1940 and at Los Alamos from 1943 to 1945. Barschall also covers his professional career in the U.S.A. including comments on the bombing of his research laboratory at University of Wisconsin in August 1970.
