Isaac Engel Oral History
Description
An interview with Isaac Engel, a Holocaust survivor, conducted by Dr. Sidney Bolkosky, Professor of History at the University of Michigan--Dearborn. Isaac Engel was born in Zwolén, Poland ca. 1921. Following the German invasion in 1939, Isaac and his family hid from the Germans in the village of Zileonka. Shortly thereafter, the family separated and Isaac moved between local villages. In 1942, Isaac's family left hiding and went to the town of Ciepielów where they were rounded-up by the Germans and either killed on the spot or deported to Treblinka. Isaac was sent to Skarzysko-Kamienna as a forced laborer for the Hugo Schneider Aktiengesellschaft (HASAG). From Skarzysko-Kamienna, Isaac was sent to Gross-Rosen, Nordhausen, Dora and Bergen-Belsen. After liberation, Isaac was placed in the displaced persons (DP) camp at Celle, where he remained until 1949
