    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Serge B., who was born in France in 1921. He recalls his parents were Russian immigrants; their assimilated, secular life in Paris; not feeling Jewish until German invasion; his father's escape from the July 1942 round-up with help from a police friend; being sent with his siblings to live with their uncle in Cannes; joining the Resistance; becoming head of his group; arrest in 1943; violent interrogations; the Gestapo discovering he was Jewish; transfer to a prison in Nice, then Drancy; digging an escape tunnel with fourteen prisoners; discovery of the tunnel; confinement with the fourteen; deportation east; escape from the train with nineteen others; walking alone to Bar-le-Duc; help from a pastor; traveling to Paris; going to the address of a friend's fiancé; hiding; Resistance activities; obtaining false papers; and reunion with his wife (she was protected by her Turkish citizenship). Mr. B. attributes the escape and tunnel building to their determination and hope.
