Reva F. Holocaust testimony (HVT-1864) interviewed by Devorah Mann,
Videotape testimony of Reva F., who was born in Iwye, Poland (presently Iŭe, Belarus) in 1937. She vaguely recalls German occupation; seeing dead bodies; Germans beating people; escaping with her mother; being hidden alone with a man in a nearby village; her mother coming for her; hiding with her mother in the attic of a non-Jewish woman who shared her food with them; hiding in a forest with her aunt and cousin; the war's end; returning to Iwye; her mother's remarriage; traveling to a displaced persons camp in Ladispoli, Italy; her sister's birth; and emigrating to the United States to join an aunt. Mrs. F. discusses not remembering most of her childhood; present fears resulting from her war experiences; feeling her past began when she arrived in the U.S.; and her father's death in a mass shooting. She shows photographs.
