Oral History | Fortunoff Collection ID: HVT-1445

Videotape testimony of Libby F., who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1934 to Polish parents. She recounts being born a triplet (the other two did not return from the hospital with her and their fates are unknown); her family's orthodoxy and poverty; attending a Jewish school; anti-Jewish restrictions; obtaining papers for emigration from an uncle in the United States; Kristallnacht; her father's deportation to Dachau; her mother forging papers to secure his release; her father's emigration; moving into an uncle's house with her mother and brother; and their emigration to the United States. Ms. F. notes her parents devastation upon hearing about the Warsaw ghetto uprising (their parents were there); very few relatives who survived from her large extended family; and sharing her experiences with her children.
