- Summary
- Videotape testimony of Miriam K., who was born in Albigowa, Poland and moved to Cologne, Germany in 1919, after her father's death. She recalls her grandfather's textile factory; attending a commercial high school; employment with agencies which helped Polish Jews emigrating west through Germany; working for Hilfsverein der Juden in Deutschland in 1936, providing assistance for German Jews; and the difficulties emigrating from Germany at that time. She recounts receiving notification of expulsion to Poland in October 1938; receiving permission to remain in Germany; Kristallnacht; being allowed to chaperone a children's transport to England, which included her sister, provided that she return to Germany; later parting from her mother when she was allowed to emigrate to England via Belgium; working on a farm in England; her postwar reunion with her mother, who had hidden in Belgium; and emigration to the United States in 1951 with her daughter (she had married in England and her husband died one year after her daughter's birth).
