    Overview

    Summary
    A follow-up, directed videotape testimony of Sally H., whose first testimony was recorded in 1979. She notes the painful nature of digging up memories for the first testimony; continuing to see vivid mental pictures of her painful incidents in the ghetto; being hidden briefly by a Polish neighbor; being chosen not to enter a deportation train and her sisters going with her at her mother's urging; feeling as though "it" was happening to someone else in Skarżysko; being kept alive there through her sisters' efforts; random shootings of every tenth person when there was an escape; returning home to Zwoleń after liberation; learning her father and brother had been killed in hiding and a friend had survived but was killed by Poles after liberation; emotional numbness at learning of these deaths; traveling to Częstochowa, then the American zone in Germany due to Polish antisemitic violence; not sharing her experience when she came to the United States after Americans compared being deprived of nylon stockings to her experience; gradually sharing her experiences with her children; continuing nightmares; and increasing intensity of her memories and fears as she grows older.

    Notes
    Due to the fact that this testimony contains significant dialogue between the witness and the interviewers, two versions were produced at the time of the taping. One version has the camera focused solely on the witness; the second has two cameras alternating between the witness and the interviewers. The interviewers' questions are based on their study of the original testimony as well as a discussion of the witness's memories of the first testimony, its impact on her life, and general issues concerning memory and language.
