Eyewitness to History: Holocaust Survivor Peter Gorog

The Eyewitness to History video library was created to enable audiences everywhere to hear firsthand testimony from Holocaust survivors. This video was created from a live digital program, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors, recorded on April 27, 2022. It features Peter Gorog, who was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1941. The Hungarian government enacted increasingly oppressively antisemitic laws and in 1942, Peter’s father was sent to occupied Ukraine as part of a forced labor battalion and never returned. After the Germans occupied Hungary in 1944, Peter and his mother Olga briefly found refuge with a family friend until a neighbor denounced them. After being arrested and jailed, Olga escaped and returned to Peter. They stayed in an internationally protected apartment before being forced to move into the Budapest ghetto, which was liberated by the Soviet Army in January 1945.

  1. Thanks agaín – thanks for keeping on, sharing the testimonies! To share has never been as important as it is now when we watch and feel. hate rise again.. a hate which very sadly, often come from the very same families as were (still are) responsible for the Holocaust.. so, so incredibly sad 😪

  2. I hope I can hear every single documented testimony of the Holocaust survivors before I die. I have been listening to them for 15 years straight and trying to learn everything I could about the camps. I can’t get enough of the survivors stories…

  3. Thank you sir for your testimony . So important and very important for the world to understand. Bless you and your family and all the people and children who did not survive 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
