Vladka and Benjamin M. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Vladka M. and her husband Benjamin M. Mrs. M. tells of her wartime life as an underground courier between the Warsaw ghetto and non-Jewish Warsaw and contrasts ghetto life with life on the Aryan side. Pointing out the incorrect way in which Poles today equate the ghetto uprising with the (non-Jewish) Polish resistance, she describes spiritual resistance in the ghetto, meetings of the ghetto underground, and the Warsaw ghetto revolt from her perspective outside the ghetto. She stresses the importance of documentation and talks about the underground archive of the Warsaw ghetto and the book she wrote two years after the war. Mrs. M. speaks of parental protectiveness characteristic of survivors; her empathy with survivors who were parents during the Holocaust; and the link between technology and the Holocaust.
