Oral History | Fortunoff Collection ID: HVT-151

Videotape testimony of Stefan R., who was born in a small city in Romania in 1914 and spent most of his prewar life in Oradea Mare. He tells of his family life without his father, who died when he was six years old; his service in the Romanian army (1934-1936;) his conscription in 1942, after the Hungarian takeover, into the Jewish brigade of the Hungarian army, from which he repeatedly escaped; and his hiding in Budapest, at times with the aid of the Communist and Jewish undergrounds, and for a time in a Swedish safe house, until the city's liberation by the Russians.
