    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Rosa K., who was born in Amsterdam, Holland, in 1932. Ms. K. recalls her non-observant upbringing; her intellectual, politically active parents; a German Jewish boy temporarily left in the family's care when his parents fled Germany in 1939 (he eventually was deported); the Nazi invasion in May 1940; her parents' unsuccessful attempt to leave Holland; increasing anti-Semitic restrictions; the disappearance of many friends; and her parents' decision to go into hiding during an Aktion in late 1942. She tells of separation from her family; hiding with a succession of families in Amsterdam, Muiderberg, Arnhem and Utrecht; a socialist couple in Utrecht who cared for her for more than a year; another Jewish girl also hidden by the couple; narrow escapes from two German searches; moving to several homes in Zeist after her hosts' activities attracted attention; and suffering from severe hunger in winter 1944-1945. She recounts Allied liberation; reunion with her father and brother; their initial desire to forget the war and return to normalcy; the family's reluctance to discuss her mother's fate; and learning from a visitor in mid-1945 of her death in Bergen-Belsen.
