  ... BOOK 74 most respected citizens of the ghetto to his office and told them that the tyrant Twardon demanded that they shave off their beards. Disobedience meant instant death. They were: my father Itsche Saleschutz; Yossef-Hayyim Anfang; Hersch Kleinman; Osher Dershowitz; Hendl Ginsberg; Moshe-Yossef Berle; Israel Hofferc; Yaakov Kirshenbaum; Hirch-Yaakov Silber; Moshe Fenichel; Kalman Birenbaum; Shulcm Sher; Kiva Schmidt; Kiva Auch- hisiger and Hersch Kinstlich. Shaving their beards was for these pious men a "taste of death itself". A few days later Paszek again had to inform them that Twardon demanded 5 kilo of gold. The Judenrat began to collect the gold.

It was very difficult for me to decide whether or not to enter the apartment in which I had lived. As I mentioned earlier ...

  ... "kinig* lach", from the word "king", and in Polish "krolicki". When the fair is over these young men bring the skins to some merchants who collect them in quantity then "export" them. Anything sent outside the shtetl’s borders is called "export". One of the dealers in these royal "kiniglach" is Leibush Horovitz, a young Yeshiva student, blonde and short-bearded and active in the "Mizrachi". Mendel Birnbaum, his friend in the party, jokingly called him, "Melech Malchei Hamlachim" — der kinig iber alle kiniglach" (the King of Kings). One of the shtetl’s fools hanging around the market was one day attracted by the noise and bustle of buying and selling and, like everybody else, bought himself a "kinigel" fur which he paid for with the coins begged from the kind-hearted village women ...
