Скачать или смотреть Eyewitness to History: Holocaust Survivor Josie Traum

The EYEWITNESS TO HISTORY video library was created to enable audiences everywhere to hear firsthand testimony from Holocaust survivors. This video was created from a live digital program, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors, recorded on September 20, 2023. It features Holocaust survivor Josie Traum, who was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1939. When she was three years old, Josie was given a false name and was placed in hiding in a convent. Her mother secured this placement for Josie through her involvement in the underground resistance movement, but was not allowed to know where she was hiding for safety purposes. When suspicions that Jewish children were being hidden at the convent grew, Josie was placed with a Christian family whom she stayed with until liberation. Josie was eventually reunited with her mother, who survived medical experimentation at Auschwitz.
