- Notes
- Eva Gillatt (née Oppenheim) was born on May 21, 1920 in Charlottenburg, Berlin, Germany. Her father died of leukemia when she was a child. Eva recalls having had a privileged childhood. Despite having no religious education, she was conscious of her Jewishness, especially with increasing political upheavals and the passing of the antisemitic Nuremberg laws of 1935. After a year at an orthodox Jewish boarding school, Eva spent a year as an employee at a Deaf and Dumb hall in Weinssensee, Germany. In 1937, she went to Harzburg to work. From there she left for Neuendorf in April 1938, where she trained on a farm run by a Jewish organization. Eva recounts that on Kristallnacht about 12 Nazis came on motorbikes and threatened to burn the farm down. They took everybody over the age of 20 to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Eva’s brother was sent to England on the Kindertransport in May 1939. On July 4, 1939, Eva went by ship to the United Kingdom to live with her uncle in London; she recounts an unhappy and isolated period, working hard under her uncle and being poorly treated. The war was just beginning at this point. For 16 weeks, Eva was stationed in an air raid shelter. When Eva turned 21, she left her uncle to train as a cook, and in May 1941, began working in this capacity for the British Army in Lancaster. It was there that she met and ultimately married the Sergeant of the 4th Allied Volunteer Platoon. They lived in Manchester for over 16 years and had three children. During the last years of the war, Eva found out that her mother had been sent by transport to Auschwitz where, Eva believes, she was killed within a day or two. Between 1954 and 1960, Eva worked in various clerical positions. For over twenty years she was an ad representative for several newspapers in Manchester and then moved on to become a hospital car driver. She currently works as a cook for an agency that helps less fortunate people. While Eva does not talk about her experiences during the war to friends, she was pleased to have had the opportunity to tell her personal story.

- 37 pages, photographs of ghettos, deportation, killing fields, with captions across the bottom. Collected and edited by: Olevski, Rafael; Rosental, David; Trepman, Paul Narrative: TREPMAN, PAUL (Warsaw 1916– Montreal 1987), journalist, author, community leader. During the war, Trepman lived in the Warsaw area with Aryan papers. He was arrested in June 1943 and accused of being a Soviet spy. He was sent to Majdanek and was liberated in Bergen-Belsen in April 1945. He became involved in the cultural and political life of the Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons Camp. In July 1945 he was the founding coeditor of Undzer Shtimme, the first Jewish newspaper in the British Zone. Trepman was also an editor of Zamy Feder's Anthology of Songs and Poems from the Ghettos and Concentration Camps, and was co-editor, again with Olewsky and Rosental, of an early photo album of the Holocaust, the multilingual Undzer Churbn in Bild, (Our Destruction in Pictures, Bergen-Belsen, 1946). Trepman and his wife immigrated to Montreal in 1948. In Montreal he worked for the Jewish People's Schools (1948-1971), was the executive director of the Jewish Public Library (1971-1981). In 1961 he established the Montreal chapter of Bergen-Belsen survivors. He contributed to the Adler, wrote several books focusing on his life before the war and his wartime experiences, including A Gesl in Varshe (1949; Among Men and Beasts, 1978), A Traumatic Return to Poland (1980).
