Summary:Videotape testimony of Leon K., who was born in a small town in Bosnia in 1907 to a family of nine children. He recalls his father's death; attending business college; a government job; marriage in Travnik on the day of the German invasion in 1941; working in Tuzla; moving to Travnik; hiding for three months to avoid deportation; reaching Italian-occupied Mostar with help from a Muslim; his wife joining him in January 1942; and fleeing to the mountains. He recounts living with partisans; moving to Kotor; transfer to Vieste, then Bari, Italy; emigration to the United States in 1943; living in the Fort Ontario refugee camp; their daughter's birth in 1945; and learning after the war that most of their family perished. Mr. K. shows a prayer book he carried throughout the war.
