    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Haim G., a prominent Israeli poet, journalist, and filmmaker, who was born in Tel Aviv, Palestine (presently Israel) in 1923. In addition to information included in a previously recorded testimony (HVT-1352), Mr. G. discusses attending a memorial service in the main Budapest synagogue in 1947; accompanying a group of survivors traveling to Vienna; observing poor conditions at the Rothschild Hospital displaced persons camp; training survivors in Czechoslovakia as future paratroopers for the Israeli military; returning to Israel to fight in the Arab-Israel War, often alongside Holocaust survivors; completing his first book, Pirḥe-Esh: Shirim in 1949; studying at Hebrew University for two years, then the Sorbonne for one year; his wife joining him; writing a book in 1951 that was banned; editing then republishing it; and translating French literature to Hebrew. Mr. G. discusses some of his publications; not believing in God, but the importance of this belief to Israel, his Israeli identity, thus his interest in God; thinking about the Holocaust daily and its influence on his work; and additional themes about which he writes: humans, their internal worlds, family, love, nationhood, and the place of humans in the nation.

    Notes
    This testimony is in Hebrew.
    Due to the fact that this testimony contains significant dialogue between the witness and the interviewer, two versions were produced at the time of the taping. One version has the camera focused solely on the witness; the second has two cameras alternating between the witness and the interviewer.
