Felicia B. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Felicia B., who was born in Warsaw. She speaks of her prewar life in Warsaw; her life in L?vov, where she and her son were taken by her husband (who was a medical officer in the Polish army) after the German occupation; her and her son's deportation to Siberia with a transport of wives and children of Polish officers (her husband was shot in a Russian internment camp) and their life in Siberia, where they remained for six years, until the end of the war.
