    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Nathan K., who was born in Radom, Poland in 1923 to a family of six children. He recounts a happy family life before the German occupation in 1939; deportation to Lublin in 1940; forced labor digging trenches in Ciechanów; escaping with an inmate to the Soviet border; their arrest by the Soviets; imprisonment for eleven months in Lv́iv and Berestechko; three months in Zolochiv prison; transport to Starobelśk; working on the barges in Vorkuta; being wounded while serving in the Soviet army; and his imprisonment until 1948. Mr. K. describes returning to Radom in 1948; learning no one from his family had survived; marriage; working as a tailor in Łódź; emigration with his wife and son to Israel in 1957; learning his sisters had, in fact, survived and lived in Baltimore; emigrating to the United States; and his subsequent life.
