Interview Summary
Videotape testimony of Ruth M., who was born in Kassel, Germany in 1931. She recounts her close, extended family; their orthodoxy; being hidden on Kristallnacht; her father's deportation to Buchenwald the next day; expulsion from school due to anti-Jewish restrictions; joining a children's transport to Amsterdam in 1939 (her sister went earlier); reunion with her sister; separation when placed with different families; joining eighty children on a transport to England in May 1940; living in an orphanage in Wigan, then with a non-Jewish family; and moving to Manchester to live with a Jewish family. Mrs. M. discusses learning of her mother's death in Stuffhof from surviving aunts who were with her; her father's escape to England; his emigration to the United States after the war; and continuing contact with her English foster mother. She shows photographs.
