Erlebnisbericht

Memoirs of a Jew born in 1928 in Borislaw, Poland (now in Ukraine). Describes a pogrom carried out by local Ukrainians and Poles, in which ca. 200 Jews were killed, just before the Nazi occupation in 1941. Linhard and his family were helped by Berthold Beitz, a German manager of an oil company in Boryslav, who managed to save some of his Jewish workers. Linhard worked with his father, a furrier, in Beitz's home for a while, and Beitz saved them from a transport. Linhard, his parents, and sister were interned in the Borislaw ghetto with other relatives. There were several massacres, including one in which his mother and grandmother were killed, and his father was murdered by the Gestapo. He and his sister were interned in a nearby labor camp, but he escaped to the forest and went into hiding with a group of friends until the liberation in August 1944. Linhard then joined the Soviet army and participated in the liberation of Budapest. After the war he returned to Poland, where he found his sister, and emigrated to Israel in 1948.
