              <text>An interview with Barbara Schechter Cohen, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan--Dearborn. Mrs. Cohen, born in 1941, is a child survivor of the Holocaust. Following the outbreak of the war, Barbara and her mother were separated from her father. Traveling on forged papers, Barbara and her mother went to Austria, where her mother worked as a farm hand part of the time. An Austrian woman took Barbara in for a time. Towards the end of the war, Barbara's mother suspected that the woman wanted to keep the child so on her last visit, she ran away with Barbara. At the conclusion of the war the two were placed in a displaced person (DP) camp outside Stuttgart Germany, where they were reunited with Barbara's father. The family immigrated to the United States in 1946</text>
