Agnesa U. Holocaust testimony

Videotape testimony of Agnesa U., who was born in Liptovský Mikuláš, Czechoslovakia (presently Slovakia) in 1935. She recalls a pleasant childhood; attending a Jewish school for three years; her family convering to Protestantism, thinking it would help; hiding with a friend in Čemice, then in Bobrovček; escaping to the nearby forest in October 1944 when a neighboring village was burned (her grandmother and disabled cousin remained using false papers); being caught in December; imprisonment in Liptovský Mikuláš, Ružomberok, then deportation with her mother to Sered, and ten days later to Theresienstadt; living in a girls' barrack; a relatively benign experience until the arrival of death march survivors; liberation in May 1945; returning home; reunion with her grandmother and cousin; vainly seeking her father; and neighbors refusing to return their possessions. Ms. U. notes she has difficulty remembering details of her experiences.
