a| Videotape testimony of Martin L., who was born in Łódź, Poland in 1916. Mr. L. speaks of his childhood; his enlistment in the Polish army in 1938; the defense of Warsaw in 1939; and his prisoner-of-war status in Stuttgart. He describes his return to Warsaw, then to the Łódź ghetto in 1940; Polish collaboration with Germans; deprivation within the ghetto; and the deaths and deportations of family members. He recounts voluntarily leaving the ghetto with his brother; their arrival at Auschwitz; witnessing mass burnings of inmates; the murder of Ḥayim Rumkowski by camp inmates; and transfer to Friedland, where he and his brother worked producing armaments. He relates liberation by the Russians in 1945; his journey to Prague; meeting his future wife, also a survivor; and returning to Łódź to search in vain for family survivors. He recalls his marriage in Föhrenwald, Germany, along with three other survivor couples, and their enduring friendships; his move to Bad Nauheim; and emigration to the United States in 1949. Mr. L. also speaks of his life in the United States; the recurrence of wartime memories, especially in dreams; his children; and his feelings about religion.
