She recalls her family's secularism but attending synagogue every Saturday; moving to Martin when she was four; cordial relations with non-Jews; attending school until she was expelled in 1940 due to anti-Jewish regulations; converting to Christianity; a local policeman helping her hide; her mother convincing her to marry to save herself; an arranged marriage to a Jewish man who had also converted; moving to Dubova, his town; learning her grandfather had been deported and the priest who had helped him was shot; hiding in a forest bunker after the 1944 Slovak uprising; assistance from local non-Jews; liberation by Soviet troops; completing her education; feeling she was neither Christian nor Jew; her son's request that she return to Judaism; returning after his death; attributing her long marriage to her husband's extraordinary goodness; and her sense she did not survive the Holocaust since “it is still in me.” She shows photographs. 546 This testimony is in Slovak. 524 Viera F.
