Elizabeth G. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Elizabeth G., who was born ca. 1911 in Miskolc, Hungary. Mrs. G. recalls her pleasant childhood and adolescent life, marred by prewar Hungarian antisemitism; her marriage in Budapest in 1935; and her life in hiding with her husband and two sons during the Russian and German occupations (from 1942 until liberation.) She also speaks of her and her family's postwar emigration, first to Italy and later to the United States; her happy marriage; and the loss of her husband, who died four years before the interview.
