Rene?e G. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Rene?e G., who was born in ?osice, Poland, in 1932. She describes the German occupation of ?osice, its ghettoization, and the liquidation of the ghetto; her arrest along with her older brother; and their transfer to the "small ghetto", where she worked as a forced laborer. She also describes her escape from the ghetto with the assistance of a non-Jewish friend of her father; and life in hiding, first in the home of the Polish policeman who had arrested her and her brother, and later in the barn of a Polish farm family. Here, she and her family hid in a pit under a manure pile for two years. Other topics include liberation; her post-liberation return to Losice; and a recent return trip to Poland, which greatly affected her.
