Book excerpt: Memoirs of a Jew born in Presov, Slovakia, in 1931 to the Reinitz family. In December 1942, after a wave of deportations, Gossman's father sent her and her brother to relatives in Tolcsva, Hungary. While crossing the border, they were caught by the Hungarian police and sent to the Ricse internment camp. In April 1943 their uncle, a rabbi in Tolcsva, took them to his home. In March 1944 the Jews of Tolcsva were sent to the Satoraljaujhely ghetto; soon after, Gossman and her brother fled and returned to their parents in Presov, only to be resettled the next day in Nitra, western Slovakia. The Reinitz family went into hiding in Nitra, aided by two non-Jews, Maria Krescankova and her daughter Vlastimila, and by other neighbors. In spring 1945 Nitra was liberated by the Soviets; after the war the family settled in the USA.
