Marton Adler Oral History

Description

An interview with Marton Adler, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan--Dearborn. Marton Adler was born in 1929 and lived in a Czechoslovakian town called Volové. When the war started, life did not change much for Marton until his father was sent to a labor camp for two years in 1941. In March of 1944 all the Jews of Volové were deported, first to a ghetto set up in Sokirnitsa, a nearby town, and then to Auschwitz. Marton and his father were the only members of his immediate family to survive Auschwitz. They were there for three days before being sent to Buchenwald and later to Dora concentration camp, where his father was killed. At Dora, Marton worked as a clothes sorter until the camp was evacuated to Bergen-Belsen where he was liberated by the British on April 15, 1945
