                <text>An interview with Samuel Offen, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan--Dearborn. Sam Offen lived in Krakow, Poland. After the German invasion of 1939, Sam, his father, and his brothers, Nathan and Bernie, were recruited by the Germans as forced laborers. Nathan was sent to a nearby rock quarry to work. In 1942, Sam's mother and sister were rounded-up and deported and the three brothers and their father were sent to Plaszów. After a short time, the Offens were sent to Gusen I, a sub-camp of Mauthausen. There Sam and Nathan were separated from Bernie and their father  it was the last time Sam saw his father. In 1945, Sam and Nathan were liberated by the American army. While waiting in Italy for a ship bound for Palestine, they learned of a Polish unit of the British army, based in Italy, and decided to join. Several weeks later, Bernie found his brothers and was reunited with them. In late 1946 or early 1947, Nathan and Sam went to England to be discharged, taking Bernie with them.  The three brothers lived in England until 1951 when they emigrated to the United States</text>

The Offen family was from Kraków, Poland.  The brothers tell stories of their life in the Kraków ghetto, Plaszów labor camp and Mauthausen concentration camp. While at Plaszów, Bernard and other children were transported out of camp, most likely to be executed.  However, Bernard managed to escape and was then smuggled into another sub-camp to be with an uncle. The family was later reunited at Plaszów until they were sent to Mauthausen. After arriving at Mauthausen, Bernard and his father were separated from Sam and Nathan and sent to Auschwitz. Shortly after arriving at Auschwitz, their father was  selected  by Dr. Menegele and sent to the gas chamber. After the war, Sam and Nathan went to Italy where Bernard later found them</text>

                <text>An interview with Nathan Nothman, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Donna Miller. Nathan Nothman was born on July 15, 1925 in Kraków, Poland. Following the German invasion of Poland, Nathan, his parents, and his three brothers and sister were forced to move into the Kraków ghetto. Nathan and his father worked for the Nazis as plumbers and were allowed to leave the ghetto for work until his father was sent to Auschwitz and killed. In 1943 when the ghetto was liquidated, Nathan was sent to the Plaszów concentration camp and then to Gross-Rosen where he was assigned to a work detail on the Steinburg. He was then sent to Flossenburg to work on the railroads in 1945. Nathan and his friend escaped during a death march and walked to Laufen where he was rescued by the American Army.

Born in Poland, Helena was one of eight children, all of whom were adults at the beginning of the war. After the German invasion in 1939, the family separated and Helen, along with several siblings and their father went to Lwów, which was under Soviet control at the time. In June 1941, the Germans invaded the Soviet Union and occupied Lwów. Helena's father and brothers were sent to Belzec, where they died in the gas chambers. Helena and her husband were moved to Lesko and then on to Zamosc. Because Helena's husband was a doctor, the Germans sent them to a labor camp in Rokitna. They eventually escaped and made their way to Kraków, where they remained in hiding until the end of the war</text>
