2-04. Family History and Childhood: Escaping Belgium during the Holocaust
In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross narrates her immediate family's escape from the Holocaust. Much of her family did not make it out of Europe alive. Suzanne reflects on the relationship between her direct experience of this genocidal history and her white skin and educational privileges. Suzanne narrates her family's travels from Germany to Belgium to France, Spain, North Africa, Portugal, Mozambique, Palestine and ultimately the United States, where she and her family arrived on December 25, 1945. From Suzanne: "Born in 1937 living with an extended family on maternal and paternal sides in Antwerp Belgium. By 1940 the Nazis invade and most of the family tried and even succeeded in leaving. My parents, brother, and I along with different aunts, uncles, and cousins parted ways with some headed for Portugal, some for Palestine, and other remaining in France or Belgium. Traveling for about a year from France to Spain to North Africa, to Portugal and eventually Mozambique, we found a haven in Mozambique for three years, until the colonial power (Portugal) gave us a deadline by which we had to leave. This was now 1944 and we were able to go to Palestine where we remained for a year before we were able to get the visa we needed to go to the US, my parents’ dream. We arrived in the US on December 25, 1945 and soon became part of an orthodox Jewish community in Queens, Far Rockaway. My brother and I attended the Yeshiva, I loved the chaos of this school, with the students able to challenge the adults, and impose a certain student power. In addition to the students ability to disrupt regular routines, the Hebrew education was excellent, especially the training in Talmudic logic and debate which served me in good stead for many subsequent decades of schooling. By the time I went to public high school I was increasingly losing interest in religion and focused more and more on intellectual interests and wanting to go to an elite college."
