Consists of an oral history transcript, written as a biography, of Leon Rosenn (Chaim Airyeh Rosenstrauch), originally of Kopyczince, Poland. The interview, which was conducted in February 2005 by Mr. Rosenn's niece, Caron Kuessous, describes his childhood, his memory of the Russian occupation of his hometown, and the German invasion in 1941. Mr. Rosenn survived on the run with his brother, Don, having many close escapes and living in hiding until 1944, when he joined the Red Army. In 1949, after leaving the Army, Mr. Rosenn joined his brother in the United States.
