From the Catalogue of Oral History Archives (USHMM):

Title: Poznanska family collection,
Extent: 2 ration cards.
Summary: Ration cards issued to Hanna Poznanska and Felicja Poznanska [donor’s mother] in the Łódź ghetto.

This provides evidence of Hanna Poznanska being a donor to the archive, thus a survivor (with a new hyphenated married name).

Yes... as does the testimony that she gave to the USC Shoah Foundation as part of the Spielberg project! One of us researchers should view the testimony to fill in the details of her story.

I saw the testimony of Hanna Poznanska-Linde, but I cannot do the research. The testimony is in... polish!

If someone can speak this language, he can watch the testimony on one of the computers of the museum and tell us the story!

We'll have to find a Polish speaker who can view her testimony. It is rather remarkable that she survived in hiding in Lodz until the Soviet forces arrived. Very few Jews in the Lodz ghetto were able to hide and survive in the city until liberation.
