This should be the first part of an interview with a survivor of the holocaust who was imprisoned in a forced labor camp in Austria. Since I don't know any Hebrew maybe someone could help me to figure out if the Town "Hauskirchen" is mentioned or the camp itself? It would mean a lot for the work on this unknown camp if someone could tell me what this first part is about. Thank you very much for your help!

Three footnotes (or end notes) not shown in the clip you uploaded.

This part only mentions the years 1938 to 1942 - not a hint of what happened later. Places mentioned for that time frame: Subotica; Mother stepfather and she Moved to Belgrade in 1938; she escaped Balgrade autumn 1941. Parents escaped Feb. 1942. Full names of witness, her mother and her father appear in testimony.
