United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Dr. Magda Nemeth donated her testimony to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on April 22, 2007.

Scope and Content

Consists of written testimony by Magda Nemeth, a survivor from Budapest, Hungary. The testimony is told in the form of short stories, entitled "Quicksand," "The Real Klara," "Rozsa Sandor," "The Lost Art of Survival," "The Twenty-Five Days: The Siege of Budapest," and "The Last Christmas Eve." The stories describe her memories between May 1944-1945, including her rescue of her younger sister from deportations in the Hungarian countryside, and her rescue from a firing squad at the Radetzky military barracks in Budapest, thanks to the intervention of Raoul Wallenberg. She also donated a copy of "An Occurence in Budapest on Holy Christmas Even Day, 1944" and the scholarly article "Psychosis in a Concentration Camp Survivor" to the Museum's Library.
