Eva and Carl S. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Eva S., who was born in Debrecen, Hungary and her husband Carl S., who was born in Breslau, Germany. Mrs. S. describes her and her family's journey by cattle car to Auschwitz; her separation from her parents and younger brothers there, as well as her reunion with her sister; and her selection for a labor transport to a factory in Germany, where she was an interpreter. She also speaks of her evacuation to another camp and finally to Bergen-Belsen, where she was liberated. She tells how, unable to locate any surviving family members in Hungary, she returned to Bergen-Belsen, where she met her husband in 1946 and remained until 1947.
