    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Larry L., who was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1931. He recalls ghettoization; extreme hunger; escape; living on the streets and stealing food; returning to the ghetto in 1942 to be with his family; fleeing with his sister during the Jewish uprising in 1943 (he never saw his parents and brother again); hiding in bunkers and apartments; separation from his sister; posing as a Catholic and working in Częstochowa and Kozlov; receiving assistance from Polish friends of his family; and liberation in January 1945. Mr. L. describes returning to Warsaw; finding his sister; living in a Jewish orphanage in Otwock; Zionist organizations which smuggled him to a displaced persons camp in Germany; an attempt at illegal emigration to Palestine; interdiction by the British and incarceration in Cyprus; entering Palestine in 1947; joining the Haganah, then the Israeli army; and marriage to an American in 1959. He reflects upon his sense of regret at never having been a child and the impact of the Holocaust on his personality.
