Regina F. Holocaust testimony
Abstract
Videotape testimony of Regina F., who was born in Olkusz, Poland, in 1924. She speaks of prewar Jewish community life; the German occupation, which brought her mother's family to live with them; forced labor under German occupation; Polish antisemitism; and the ghettoization of Olkusz. She discusses being taken from her family (who later perished at Auschwitz) to Klettendorf, a camp near Breslau, in 1942; and her subsequent deportation to Ludwigsdorf, where she worked in an ammunition plant from 1943 until her liberation in May, 1945. Mrs. F. also tells of the hope she always managed to retain; her belief in Zionism; and how she has communicated her experience to her children.
