    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Andrew G., who was born in Oradea, Rumania in 1929. He recalls holiday observances; his large extended family; anti-Semitic incidents in elementary school; Hungarian occupation; increased restrictions on Jews; German occupation in 1944; ghettoization; and deportation to Auschwitz one month later. Mr. G recounts separation from his parents (he never saw them again); assignment to a children's barrack; escaping to an adult barrack after hearing that the children would be killed; transfer to Kaufering; forced labor; transfer to Dachau; and liberation by United States troops. He tells of traveling with the Jewish Brigade to Italy; living in a displaced persons camp; working for the American Army in Rome for four years; emigrating to the United States in 1949; learning in 1963 that his sister had survived; and a reunion with her in Israel in 1966.
