Herbert S. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Herbert S., who was born in Hagen, Germany in 1923. He recalls his childhood; the lack of conspicuous antisemitism until 1933; and encounters with antisemitism in gymnasium. He recalls wartime forced labor in a factory; anti-Jewish restrictions; and being exempted from deportation twice before he and his parents went voluntarily to Terezi?n in 1942. He recounts friction between Jews of various nationalities in the camp; his transport to Auschwitz in 1944; and his observations there. He tells of his transfer to Buchenwald later in 1944; his work in a munitions factory near Leipzig; being shot during an escape attempt; and liberation during his convalescence in a Czech hospital. Mr. S. also recalls his postwar reunion with his mother in Terezi?n.
