Videotape testimony of David A., who was born in Krosno, Poland in 1928 and moved to Chorzów in 1930. He describes his happy, traditional but not orthodox, home.

He describes his postwar experiences in Berlin; his return to Poland to find his father; their reunion; and his emigration to the United States in 1949 and his life thereafter.
