  ... Sweden received assistance in cash. The secretary of the United Rzeszower Relief Committee during World War I and II was Dr. Wachtel, a member of the Rzeszower Society from its foundation in the early part of the 20th century.

Er hält in der./'Kadimah", dem ältesten jüdischnationalen Studen-tenvereins Österreichs, hebräische Kur6e und beteiligt sich eifrig an den Diskussionsabenden, gründet mit Siegmund Werner und Ernst die "Gamaja", einen jüdischnationalen Verein gali-zischer Studenten, der den Schlagzwang ablehnte, wie er damals selbst in den jüdischen akademischen Vereinen bestand.

  ... Wie eingangs erwähnt, bin ich als erster Zögling im Jahre 1912 zum Herrenturnen zugelassen worden, nachdem man meine turntechnischen Qualitäten wie auch Sporttalent erkannt hatte. Dies geschah jedoch ganz inoffiziell, denn laut den bestehenden Schulvorschriften war es strengstens verboten, dass Schüler Mit-glied eines Vereines sein durften. Die Professoren der Mittel-schule, Werner und Fink, die selbst aktive Turner waren, mus-sten daher beide Augen zudrücken (und sie taten es gerne), da-mit ich ungehindert am Turnen teilnehmen konnte. - Der Turnbet-rieb wickelte sich damals in zwei Herrenriegen und einer Damenriege ab. Der Höhepunkt der Turnsaison war das Chanukka-Fest, wo gewöhnlich als Makkabäer-Feier ein Schauturnen im Saale sowohl von der Herrenriege als auch von der Damenriege ...

He was an active participant in every election campaign for the "Seim", the local Jewish Committee or the Municipality, and put his heart and soul into the propaganda conducted for the Zionist lists. He married a daughter of the Werner family which was well established in the shtetl and its environs, with many branches.
