Oral History
Ita Dimant reads a translation of her Holocaust memoir in which she describes her three years in hiding as a non-Jew named Genowefa Zawadska in Częstochowa, Poland; her arrest in 1943; being sent by the Gestapo, which decided she was not Jewish, to Germany for forced labor; her liberation near Gerlingen, working at Kibbutz Buchenwald, and immigrating to Israel. A published version of the memoir, in Polish, is located in the USHMM Library as DS135.P63 D57 2001, while an abbreviated copy, in English, is located under DS135.P63 D56 1993.
