Description:... Pt. 1 (pp. 17-88), "The Testimony", contains a translation of Holocaust memoirs written in Yiddish by Mittelberg's father, Israel Jacob (1905-1975), who was born in Warsaw. The memoirs are based on notes written immediately after the war. They focus on his experiences from July 1942 in the Warsaw ghetto until the end of the war. After the ghetto uprising he and his family were deported to Treblinka, where his wife and son were killed. Mittelberg was sent to Majdanek, and then to several labor camps. He was liberated at Mauthausen, and eventually emigrated to Australia. Pt. 2 (pp. 97-135) relates the impact of the Holocaust on the life of David Mittelberg.
