Anna G. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Anna G., who was born in Drohobych, Ukraine (then Poland), in 1929. She speaks of her prewar life, life under Russian occupation, and her experience of the German occupation of her town. She notes the worsening conditions under German occupation, culminating in the deportations and (as they learned only later) mass murder of Jews, including Mrs. G.'s mother, sister, and young niece. She tells of living with her father and brother in Drohobych; in the Gestapo camp on Janowska Street, where she had to hide in a closet for over a year and was finally discovered by a German officer; and in P?aszo?w, the labor camp near Krako?w. Mrs. G. also describes her deportation to Auschwitz, where she was separated from her father and brother but reunited with her sister, only to be separated from her again; and her life there. The death march from Auschwitz, which began just after Mrs. G.'s sixteenth birthday, is recounted, as are her subsequent internments in Bergen-Belsen and Mauthausen, where, gravely ill with typhus, she was liberated.
