Anna N. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Anna N., who was born in Krako?w, Poland. She recalls her father's wholesale dairy business; German invasion; ghettoization; remaining in Krako?w when her parents moved to another city; obtaining false papers to visit them; working in the Madritsch factory; the brutal mass transfer to P?aszo?w; Madritsch choosing her to work, which afforded better food and conditions; escaping with help from a Polish co-worker; joining her boyfriend in Rzeszo?w; working for the railroad using false papers; fear of denunciation; her friend's arrest; returning to Krako?w; and receiving assistance from several Poles. Mrs. N. recounts obtaining new papers; volunteering for forced labor in Austria thinking exposure was less likely there; working as a domestic in Vienna; encountering a friend (who would later become her husband); nearly being raped by the Soviet liberators; assistance from the Red Cross; traveling to Krako?w seeking surviving family; returning to Vienna when she found none; marriage at the Polish consulate; and emigration to the United States. She discusses her long-lasting depression; reluctance to identify herself as Jewish; becoming less depressed after her son's birth; and the impact of her experience on her children.
