Ildi I. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Ildi I., who was born in approximately 1933 and raised in Zrenjanin (presently Serbia), Yugoslavia. She recalls her father's military service; being sent with her brother to live with an uncle in Hungarian-occupied territory in 1941 (she never saw her parents again); separation from her brother when she was sent to her maternal aunt (a physician) and grandmother in Subotica; German occupation in 1944; ghettoization; deportation to Ba?csalma?s, another camp in Austria, then Bergen-Belsen; wandering to other areas of the camp; her aunt working in the clinic; betting with other children on which prisoners conveying corpses in hand wagons would collapse; attending a cabaret; frequent deaths from sickness and starvation; transfer to Theresienstadt in March 1944; liberation by Soviet troops; and assistance from the Red Cross. Ms. I. discusses her brother's survival; viewing life and frequent death in concentration camps as "normal" since it was all she knew; and continuing fear of the dark and being alone resulting from her experiences. She reads from her mother's last letter and shows photographs.
