  ... been cast into a pit with the rest of the corpses and by some miracle had crawled out alive. The family re-union did not last for long. In the summer of 1942 the calamity struck our town and the Jewish community of Brzozow was completely decimated. The old and the children were murdered where they were and the others were taken to the death camp Belzits. Our parents, aged 51 and 53 respectively, together with our brother Ze’ev, died together. Our uncle Mendel, his wife Shprintza and their daughter Fcige were killed in the shtetl. Their son, Yossef, was mur-dered in a concentration camp. As for ourselves, Ida and Avraham Laufer, our Via Dolorosa took us to the Plaschov Camp, to Prokotsim, the "Lunetsky Prison", periods of hard-labor and wandering, arrests and impossible escapes ...

  ... of human-kind, to be cast down into this infernal pit. It came to me that perhaps this miserable woman was the only sane creature in the world of diabolical insanity surrounding us. In these moments, which appeared to us to be our last, our townsmen tried to be together. We were all obsessed with the same idea — though we had avoided the fate of our dear ones at the time, it had caught up with us. I don’t know what happened to the aged and the sick, and there were hardly any children. All we heard were a few shots. We were taken away while they remained. Perhaps they were not executed outright. It would have been superfluous to do so with the sophisticated machinery of Auschwitz so close. We were loaded on trucks with guards armed by sub-m3chine guns. Each truck was followed ...

  ... of oppression and the Jewish children were left without instruction. The little ones were taught some reading and writing, a Torah verse or two and the like. The children walked with bowed heads, like fading flowers — well did they sense what was in store for them. My cousin, Esther Kreitstein and her husband Hershl Pincus had two — Avremeleh aged four and Yoseele aged six. Two lovely, handsome boys. It was heartbreaking to think of their fate and there was no chance of saving them. On Saturday Yossele was sent to me by Hershl, his father to examine him in Torah, which he taught him himself. The child was learning Genesis, the Noah portion dealing with the Flood. He remembered everything by heart. "How far have you got, Yoseele ?" I asked him. "To *leha-khayot’ — zu bleiben leben ...

  ... , just as the war broke out, news began arriving about the Germans’ enor-mous conquests and the defeat of the Polish Army, its collapse and the flight of its soldiers in the en-suing panic. The shtetl Jews were in turmoil and everyone who could do so joined the escape route to the east and the south, in the direction of the Roumanian border. Families were broken up. The aged, the women and the children remained at home, too weak to undertake such an arduous journey. Young men left their homes and, armed with a rucksack, set out on their way. "Utziknieres", "escapees" was the name given to these masses of people with which the roads
