    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Rose A., who was born into a large, Orthodox family in a small village in the Carpathians in 1916. She describes life on the mill/farm which was her home; the invasion of the Carpathians in 1939; acts of open antisemitism; and her deportation to Poland in 1941. Mrs. A. recalls her life with the Jews in Poland; smuggling herself back into Czechoslovakia; and the resumption of life with her family until the German occupation in 1944. She tells of her deportation (after Passover 1944) to the ghetto/brick factory in Beregovo; her transport to and arrival in Auschwitz, where she was separated from her father; her sustaining relationships with her sister, mother,and two nieces; and her work in the "Canada" Kommando. She recounts the liquidation of Auschwitz; the death march, with her sister and nieces, to Ravensbrück; their transfer to Neustadt/Glewe, where her sister died; and the disintegration of the German authority structure. Postwar topics of discussion include her journey to Prague to find a home for her nieces; her reunion with her brother; her suicidal feelings; the gradual recovery of her will to live; emigration to the United States; and her marriage and children.
