Overview
- Description
- Consists of written testimony by Martin Koplow (born Koplowich), originally of Czestochowa, Poland. In his testimony, he describes forced labor in Rakow, and a forced march to Gross-Rosen, though specific details regarding places and dates are incomplete. The testimony, written as short essays and longer narratives, some fragmented and incomplete, were written as a result of a writing class Mr. Koplow attended in 1979-1980. Mr. Koplow wrote the pieces in the third person, though he describes his own experiences; the pieces also include notes from his writing professor.
