    ... must accept my lot, but you are a whole man. Make an effort and fight!" Most of the jobs at Auschwitz were in mainte-nance and the services, and were not so back-breaking as that in the mines. He listened to what I said and tried to work for a few days, but broke down. In the next selection he joined the cavalcade of the doomed. Let me mention other victims from among our townsmen who died in the camp: Yissachar Bayliss, Reuben Schertz, Moshe Schertz and Reuben Eisen, may God avenge them. Each man to his fate. To survive in Auschwitz a man needed his daily quota of miracles, in the manner of a deep-sea diver who needs air to breathe, without which he cannot live a single moment. Those who are no longer with us also recounted the daily, even hourly miracles without which they ...

    ... so wichtig sei, dass öfters, wenn die Tuchfabrikatur stark betrieben wird, die bloss dort arbeitenden Tuchmacher- und Tuchscherergesellen, vielleicht die Zahl von 1000 Köpfen ersteigen, dazu endlich c) die Militärgarnison in beiden Städten, die vielen Hilfsar-beiter, welche die Fabrikatur notwendig hat, Dienstboten und die fremden bloss zeitweilig auf beiden Plätzen sich aufhal-tenden Handelsleute etc. - so handelt es sich um eine Men-schenmasse von zirka 12.000 Seelen, welche in beiden Städten lediglich auf den einen Wochernmarkt beschränkt ist und sich also Samstags den Bedarf ihrer Viktualien für die ganze Woche besorgen muss: Es drängt sich demnach durch dieses Vorausge-sagte die Überzeugung von selbst auf, dass d) dieser Übelstand der Sache auf den Preis der Dinge, auf die ersten ...

    ... Bielitz diese Verfassung gegeben worden ist, vielleicht damals nicht soviele hundert Einwohner existiert haben, als heute tausende daselbst existieren: Weit später ist endlich auch die benachbarte Stadt Biala entständen, die sich jedoch erst in dem damaligen Zeitalter gebildet und erst seit bei-läufig 50 Jahren ihre gegenwärtige Ausdehnung erhalten hat und die, wie bekannt, mit der Stadt Bielitz ... dergestalt zusammen-hängt, dass beide Städte nur für ein Publicum anzusetzen sind: Nun hängen diese beiden Städte und ihre 8000 Einwohner, die sie laut Konskriptionsbücher ungefähr zählen dürften bloss von dem einzigen Wochenmarkt - am Samstage ab; und in dem Verhält-nis wie die christlischen Einwohner hat sich auch die Juden-schaft bei der Stadt Bielitz ... eines zweiten in Bielitz am Mittwoch ...

    ... were capable of finding solutions for the endless calamities then raining down upon the Jews who were mostly in hiding in the strangest places, far from the eyes of the sun. It was each man for himself in dealing with problems of faith and the torments of doubt... The Judenrat, nominated by the Nazis in place of the representatives of the Jewish congregation, could not provide the salaries to be paid to the Rabbis and other "Klei Kodesh". Theirs was the much more important task of stuffing the over-gorged murderers, refilling their bellies and pockets each day anew. Reb Yossele and his family were starving, kept barely alive by the kindly souls who, from time to time, gave them some provisions to keep them from dying Reb Yossele Weber was the shtet’s last Rabbi and with ...

    ... similar plight, and I. decided to go together to the police and give ourselves up as refugees who had no place to go. To our disappointment we were dismissed. They said that if they wanted us they would know where to find us. Finally, the few who remained after the general round-up were given second-class passports, indicating a non-loyal element. The Jews called these passports "mit a blits trappen" — with a drop of blood, a reference to an egg tainted by a speck of blood which it was forbidden to eat. These passports turned us into legitimate prey for the authorities — we had to leave the regional towns, stay a 100 kms., away from the border and be subjected to all kinds of limitations. A "limited area" was allocated to these refugees, some tens of square kilometers in the Tar-nopol ...
