Acquisition

Lillian Freedman donated Martin Koplow's testimony to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Mr. Koplow was her husband's maternal cousin.

Scope and Content

Consists of written testimony by Martin Koplow (born Koplowich), originally of Czestochowa, Poland. In his testimony, he describes forced labor in Rakow, and a forced march to Gross-Rosen, though specific details regarding places and dates are incomplete. The testimony, written as short essays and longer narratives, some fragmented and incomplete, were written as a result of a writing class Mr. Koplow attended in 1979-1980. Mr. Koplow wrote the pieces in the third person, though he describes his own experiences; the pieces also include notes from his writing professor.
