Leopold P. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Leopold P., who was born in Moravia, Czechoslovakia in 1923. As a non-Jew, he speaks of the arrest, imprisonment in concentration camps, and heroism of his father, who was active in the Resistance; of his own arrest and torture by the Germans; and of his subsequent involvement with the resistance movement. He also discusses his awareness of the situation of Jews in Nazi-dominated Czechoslovakia, and his experiences as a slave laborer.
