Joseph S. Holocaust testimony (HVT-2798) interviewed by Louise Goodman,

Videotape testimony of Joseph S., who was born in Lut︠s︡ʹk, Poland (presently Ukraine) in 1933, one of four children. He recounts German invasion in June 1941; mass shootings, including three of his uncles; ghettoization; pervasive deaths; his mother's emphasis on running, rather than acceptance; scouting the ghetto at night for escape routes; escaping with his mother and sister in June 1942; staying briefly with non-Jewish friends; learning from them the ghetto population had been killed in a mass shooting; hiding in the forest; and liberation by Soviet troops in February 1944. Mr. S. notes ninety relatives were killed in the Holocaust; frozen toes resulting in pain to the present day; sleeplessness due to painful memories; and the Lut︠s︡ʹk survivors erecting a monument to the Jews murdered there.
