    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Manny B., who was born in Częstochowa, Poland in 1926, the youngest of four sons. He recalls a wonderful childhood until German invasion; anti-Jewish regulations; forced labor; ghettoization; deportations and killings; a resistance member's futile attempt to shoot an SS; the execution of every tenth man who was there; transition of the ghetto into a concentration camp; volunteering as a carpenter; slave labor for HASAG; reunion with one brother (the rest of his family were killed); assistance from a German who admired his carpentry; liberation by Soviet troops; learning his three-year-old niece had survived hidden with a non-Jewish family and in a convent; retrieving her; being smuggled to Austria, with assistance from Beriḥah, after hearing of the Kielce pogrom; living in Linz and Badgastein displaced persons camps; and joining relatives in the United States. Mr. B. discusses the importance of not judging survivors since what they experienced is so incomprehensible; a recent trip to Poland with his family; and a continuing relationship with his niece's rescuers. He shows photographs, artifacts, and documents.
