    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Fred E., who was born in Uz︠h︡horod, Czechoslovakia (presently Ukraine) in 1927, the oldest of four children. He recalls Hungarian occupation; anti-Jewish restrictions; German occupation; ghettoization with his family; deportation to Auschwitz; separation from his mother and sisters; his father volunteering as a metal worker (he was afraid to do so); transfer to Janina coal mines; slave labor; becoming numb; friendships with other Hungarians; a death march and train transport to Flossenbürg; liberation from a train; hospitalization in Nuremberg; transport to Prague; traveling to Budapest; reunion with his sister; their return to Uz︠h︡horod seeking family (no one else survived); living in an UNRRA camp in Italy; moving to Paris; marriage; working for the Joint; and emigration to Australia. Mr. E. notes his sister remained in Uz︠h︡horod until her emigration to Israel ten years ago; not wanting to burden his children with his memories; and health problems due to his camp experiences.
