Deportation from Kecskemét: Elisheva Zimet Stern and Rita Weiss’
The challenge of commemorating the Shoah is to reflect on a collective tragedy while acknowledging the myriad diverse stories and voices that form its history. This short video testimony edited from Yad Vashem’s collection focuses on the experiences of the Jews of Kec, through the words of Elisheva Zimet Stern and Rita Weiss. The Jews of Kec were subjected to exceptional brutality before being deported to Auschwitz in the Spring 0f 1944. The community, which had numbered 1346 in 1941, counted only 40 in 1970. Rabbi Joseph Schindler, who had marched to the deportation train at the head of his community, was among 150 who returned from Auschwitz, to reprise his office until 1950. |
