    Oral history interview with Charles Glass

    Overview

    Interview Summary
    The interview describes Mr. Glass's childhood in Chrzanow, Poland, his experiences with antisemitism in pre-war Poland, and his remembrances of the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the resultant anti-Jewish laws and persecution. Mr. Glass describes his separation from his family and conscription as a forced laborer in 1940, and the privations he endured first in eastern Germany at Sarcau, and later at Gross-Rosen, Braunschweig and Bergen-Belsen working as slave labor through the war years. Mr. Glass describes his liberation by British troops at Bergen-Belsen, his subsequent illness, and his return to Poland to discover that his entire family, except for one sister, perished.
