Videotape testimony of Peter K., who was born in Zagreb, Yugoslavia in 1937. He recalls his family's affluent, secular life; German invasion; his father's arrest (he never saw him again); moving with his mother, brother, and other relatives to Ljubljana; smuggling themselves to Italy; internment near Brescia as illegal immigrants; receiving a stipend from the Italian government; living with relatives in Quarata; German occupation; hiding in a hut with relatives, then with peasant families; avoiding arrest with assistance from their landlord and the marshal after being denounced; moving several times; posing as Italian refugees during a German search; liberation; living in Florence; attending school with his brother; learning the details of his father's death; living in Milan; and emigrating to the United States with his mother in 1949. Mr. K. discusses his awareness of danger while in hiding; idealizing his father; his unsettled lifestyle which he attributes to his uprooted childhood; his close relationship with his brother and his family; losing innocence as a child; and attending the Hidden Child Conference. He notes this testimony "hasn't even touched the surface."
