Felina Lusopolus Oral History Description An account of the resource An interview with Felina Lusopolus, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dawn Miller. Felina Lusopolus (maiden name Greenberg) was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1919. Her mother died when Felina was just two and a half years old. Her father, who worked in the lumber business until he died at the age of 49, sent his daughter to boarding school. After her father's death, Felina moved in with her grandmother in Chernowitz, finished high school, went to college and got a degree in teaching. Felina moved to Oradea to become a teacher and became engaged to a Jewish lawyer who was sent to the Russian front. After the ghetto was started in Oradea, Felina was sent to Auschwitz. She was then sent to a camp called Langenbielau-Biewala (a sub-camp of Gross Rosen) near Reichenbach and then sent to Parschnitz. The last camp she was sent to was in the Sudetenland and she worked in a factory making airplane parts. After the Russians liberated the camp, Felina started her long journey back home to Oradea where she found out her fiancé had died on his way home to see her. She acquired a job translating Hungarian movies left behind after the war into Romanian. She married a Gentile Greek professor and had one daughter. The Communists imprisoned her husband after he told two jokes in his classroom that offended the regime. Weakened by his ordeal, he died in 1957, three years after being released. Felina applied for a passport out of Communist Romania after his death. She was granted the passport and moved first to Paris, then Belgium, Germany and finally to the United States where she moved in with her aunts in Detroit Oral History Item Metadata Specific to Oral History Items.

Martin Koby Oral History Description An account of the resource An interview with Martin Koby, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan--Dearborn. Martin Koby was born in Rovno, Poland in 1930. During the 1930s, Martin along with his mother, father, and brother, moved to the neighboring village of Giuszwica. During the pre-war period, Martin and his family experienced several incidents of anti-Semitism, especially during Christian holidays. In 1939, the Soviet Union annexed eastern Poland as part of a secret agreement contained in the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and Giuszwica came under Soviet control. Under Soviet rule, Martin and his family lived a relatively normal life. In the summer of 1941, the Germans invaded the Soviet Union and Giuszwica came under German control. Under German rule, anti-Semitism increased among the local population and Martin's father was abducted and beaten by members of the Ukrainian Liberation Army (UPA). Martin's father was released and due to the influence of a wealthy Polish landowner, the family was sent to work on an estate, rather than sent to the newly established Jewish ghetto in Rovno. In September 1942, the family, hearing news of the liquidation of the Rovno ghetto, went into hiding. Between 1942 and 1944, the family hid in six different locations in and around Giuszwica, usually with the knowledge and complicity of the local population. In February 1944, the Soviets liberated the area and the family moved to Rovno. In late 1945, they were allowed by the Soviet government to relocate to Poland and moved to Bytom, near Katowice. Sometime in 1946 or 1947, the family traveled to a displaced persons camp (the Sedan Kaserne) in Ulm, Germany. From there they made their way to the United States Oral History Item Metadata Specific to Oral History Items.

The Germans occupied the area in 1939 and started to deport the Jews in 1941. The Klein family was not deported until 1944 because Mr. Klein was an important farming advisor. The family was sent to Auschwitz without Bernard, who had become separated. Mrs. Klein and her daughter were immediately gassed upon arrival at the camp. Bernard was reunited with his brother and father at Auschwitz a month later. The three were sent to Gleiwitz where Emery and his father worked in a factory while Bernard worked in the concentration camp kitchen. In 1945, as the Russian army advanced into the area, the camp was evacuated to Blechhammer, another camp in the vicinity. The German guards fled the camp, leaving the prisoners.
