  ... studied in the Klojz of the Radomsko Chasidim in Krakow. My father also studied with the Rabbi Firer from Krosno. My father had the ability to reconcile the knowledge of Torah with general science; this result-ed not from attending any sort of school, but from working by himself. The German and Polish lan-guages were not strange to him. He was proficient in speaking and writing Hebrew; using an Ashkenazi pronunciation. My parent’s wedding took place in the year 1907. My father used to tell stories about his family. His father, (my grandfather whose name I bear), Reb. Chaim Shlomoh of blessed memory, died very young and was quite a poor man. In general the entire family was not rich. My father’s grandfather came from Russia. Actually he escaped while serving in the Czarist ...

  ... to Romania. On the seventh day of Passover, April 14, 1944, we escaped: Mordechai Spitzer, two daughters of the Bobover Rabbi Gitel and Rosa and myself. With the help of a Christian guide we got through the border and after five days we arrived in the town of Arad in Romania. We made an agreement with the guide to bring more Jews from Grosswardtfen.

The second, not wanting to interrupt himself in the middle of the Amida, winked at him and asked, "Nu akh?" ("Where are you going?") The first answered that he was looking for someone to go get into a little trouble with... And the one replied, "Nu akh! Shtayim!" (Make it two.) Mazel Tov! Mendl Ashkenazi m/b/a, a popular man who loved a good joke, once met an elderly Jewish stranger at the railroad station. He offered his hand, pronounced a hearty "Sholem-aleikhem!" and wished him mazel tov. The stranger stood in astonish-ment and stared at him: Mazel tov—what for?

  ... . The Machzikei Limud also organized religious services at their party headquarters, where the young people prayed together on the Sabbath, holidays, and also on weekdays. In this fashion a collective religious and traditional spirit was inculcated. Reb Jecheskiel Zajac, who has been described previously, played a significant role in the development of the local Machzikei Limud, as did Mendl Ashkenazi, who was blessed with organiza-tional talents. The Machzikei Limud in Chrzanow was the only organization in Galicia that existed for over thirty years without interruption.
