Oral History | Fortunoff Collection ID: HVT-2232

Videotape testimony of Edith H., who was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands in 1928.

Mrs. H. discusses the fate of family members, including an aunt and cousin who killed themselves; her sister's reluctance to talk about her wartime experiences; difficulties remaining Jewish in Holland; her children's interest in the Holocaust; her present illness; and the importance of a positive attitude and not dwelling on the past.
