Videotape testimony of Edith H., who was born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands in 1928. In addition to information included in a previously recorded testimony (HVT-47), Mrs. H. recalls obtaining false papers; hiding in Lemmer; liberation by Canadian troops in April 1945; returning with her parents to Leeuwarden; reunion with her sister; resuming her studies; marriage; and emigration to the United States. Mrs. H. discusses the fate of family members, including an aunt and cousin who killed themselves; her sister's reluctance to talk about her wartime experiences; difficulties remaining Jewish in Holland; her children's interest in the Holocaust; her present illness; and the importance of a positive attitude and not dwelling on the past.
