    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Emmy K., who was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1939. She recounts her parents' active support of the Social Democrats; her father losing his job after the German invasion; the birth of a sister in 1942; being placed in hiding, separated from her family, with a minister in Wieringermeer Polder; having to change hiding places several times; the terror of waiting alone in a dark room between hiding places; liberation by Canadian troops in May 1945; reunion with her mother and sisters; and learning her father had been deported and killed. Mrs. K. discusses the experiences of other family members that had been told to her; difficulties adjusting to her family again; studying in Israel in 1961; marriage there to an American Jew; emigration to the United States with her husband and baby daughter in 1967; and the impact of her war experiences on rearing her own children. She shows photographs and a diary her parents had written about her.
