holocaust interview
Freda Friedman was born November 8, 1928 in Poland in the little town of Gdansk. She was one of 8 kids, only six were present at the time the Holocaust was happening. Her maiden name was "Eleberger". Her father was a hard working man, since he had to support a family of eight. He was an owner of a mill, that harvested wheat and barely. The mill had been pasted down in the family for a few generations. The first time Freda heard the name Hitler was when she was only twelve. The name Hitler scared her, she found out about Hitler after he had been killing other Jews so she knew he was a threat to her and her family. The Germans occupied he town in 1941around the fall and wintertime. She was around fifteen at this time. As the soldiers invaded their town, they began to throw stones at their windows and yelled at them to come out of their houses. The soldier said they could bring one suitcase each, with some food and some clothes. At this point they had no idea where they were going they just listen to what the soldier said to do because they were afraid of death.The soldier had taking them to a ghetto. There they moved into a two-room house that was shared by them and their uncle's family. While in this ghetto the fi
She was forced to run away and live in the forest again, but this time it was different she was alone, she was so cold and there was no food, she is still surprised she survived. She also let us know they rarely do interviews because after they do one, there is a period of a few days that they have dreams about the Holocaust and relive what they've already been though. He was tied to a horse and drug around the town and then beaten to death. But mostly we just watched the movie because she was very hesitant about the interview. Shortly after things have been getting better their father died of typhus. This shelter gave Freda a chance to get things back together for herself. There she witnessed her own brother's death. As the Russians transported them out of the ghettos, the Germans began to bombard the town, killing most of the Jews and a lot of the Russians. She was also very upset that there was not a memorial to commemorate the Jews who were put through all that misery. One of there stops on the way was one of the ghetto's Freda lived at. After she escaped from almost being killed she went back to her parents friends house that took her in before to ask for some food. She began working for this one Gentile, she would wash dishes for him and he would give her food. They were to be killed and then placed in the wholes dug out. rst program happened, also called a selection, were they soldier go through the town and hand pick the people they want to work for them and the rest are kid. The program didn't happen until the morning.
