• Summary:Videotape testimony of Rosalyn C., who was born in Panevėžys, Lithuania in 1930 and raised in Kaunas. She recalls a comfortable childhood; attending Yiddish school; Soviet occupation in 1940; German invasion in 1941; ghettoization; one brother being taken in a round-up (they never saw him again); forced labor; escaping the 1944 round-up of children because she looked older; her other brother's death at the Ninth Fort; hiding underground with her parents in 1944; exposure; transport to Stutthof; separation from her father (she never saw him again); slave labor in Malki; a death march in January 1945; crying every night; her mother stealing food for her; liberation by Soviet troops; hospitalization for weeks; traveling to Łódź; learning her father had perished in Dachau; traveling to Italy; living in displaced persons camps; in Cremona, hearing from relatives in the United States; emigration in 1949; assistance from their relatives; marriage in 1953; the birth of two sons; and her mother's death in 1974. Ms. C. discusses the importance of being with her mother to her survival; being numb in the camps; and seldom discussing her story, even with her children. She shows a movie of Panevėžys taken by a visiting relative in 1934.
