    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Genia T., who is from Chrzanów, Poland. She speaks of her life under German occupation, working as a forced laborer making buttons. She recounts the round-up, while she was away at work, of her husband, father, and siblings for deportation from the Chrzanów ghetto. Only her husband survived. Mrs. T. describes her transfer to a slave labor camp in Bernsdorf, Czechoslovakia, and details conditions there, where she remained as a worker in a mattress factory until her liberation by the Russians. She also mentions her return home after the war; her reunion with her husband; and their emigration to the United States. Other topics include reflections on attempts to remain religiously observant during the Holocaust; the lasting effects of her experiences; the importance of her children; and the failure of the United States to intervene on behalf of the victims of the Holocaust.
