Elizabeth D. Holocaust testimony (HVT-95) interviewed by Laurel Vlock,

Videotape testimony of Elizabeth D., a Jehovah's Witness, who was born in Germany in 1929 and grew up in Saxony. She relates her father's activities as a Jehovah's Witness; his repeated arrests beginning shortly after Hitler's rise to power; his final arrest in 1936; and her mother's arrest at that time. She speaks of the 1936 trial of Jehovah's Witnesses, including her parents; her mother's two and a half year sentence; her father's imprisonment; his refusal to renounce his faith; and his eventual death in Sachsenhausen. Mrs. D. recalls living with her grandparents during her parents' imprisonment; her and her brother's fear, loneliness and passive resistance ("quiet defiance") both in and out of school; being forced to 'voluntarily' join the Hitler Youth; and her Hitler Youth activites. She also tells of her recent decision to speak about her wartime experiences.
