דבקנו בחיים

Relates the story of the Kornhausers, based on testimonies. Stefan was born in 1914 in Kraków, where he studied medicine. With the outbreak of war, he and his father fled to Lvov. After the German occupation of 1941, he joined his mother and brother in Bochnia, where they were interned in the ghetto and Stefan worked in the hospital. In August 1942 the patients were deported and killed, as was Stefan's brother. Lesha was born in 1920 in Bochnia to the Lichtig family. With the outbreak of war, her father fled to the USSR, where he survived. She was interned with her mother and sister in the Bochnia ghetto in 1942, and in November she and Stefan were married. In August 1943, with the help of Jewish resistance groups, the couple escaped to Hungary and then to Slovakia, where they joined a Slovak resistance group. Lesha was caught but escaped; Stefan was caught later and released. The couple was reunited and remained in the mountains with the partisans until the liberation in February 1945; they emigrated to Israel in 1949. Lesha's mother and sister, as well as Stefan's parents, perished in the Holocaust.
