Videotape testimony of Morris D., who was born in Kállósemjén, Hungary in 1919. He describes his orthodox childhood and education; leaving the Yeshiva in 1939 to join the family business; being drafted into the Hungarian army in 1940; two years in a slave labor brigade in Transylvania and Yugoslavia, during which they wore army uniforms with yellow armbands indicating they were Jews, did menial labor, and could not bear arms; returning home to see his parents with the aid of a Hungarian officer in 1942; increasing antisemitism and abuse by the Hungarians; and transfer to the Russian front working in a Hungarian military command for the German army. Mr. D. relates his capture as a prisoner-of-war by the Russian army; being marched from place to place for months during which conditions were so horrendous that some resorted to cannibalism; spending the next six years in Russia working as a prisoner in a hospital and coal mine; being released in 1948; returning home; his reunion with surviving family, including his brother who had been saved by having "Wallenberg papers"; leaving Hungary; meeting his wife in Austria; and arrival in the United States in 1954. He discusses his children and their traditional religious observance; and the necessity for younger people to know about the Holocaust.
