... income. As of the year 1765. the net income to the Mayor was 1324 zlotys and the expenses to keep up his office. 346 zlotys. In 1687. the Saymek. or Congress in Warsaw, advised the deputies from Boibcrkc and Yanow that the townships could again forego all taxes, since the townships had suffered from fires which had destroyed all their houses. In order again to help Boibcrkc to better its economic conditions. King August III permitted the town to have four fairs each year instead of two.

185 Rischa Seelenfreund / THE TWO BIBBER SISTERS was of my own age and I remember her much better than her sister. She worked for my father till the war broke out, when my parents left Brzozow for Eastern Poland. She was honest, diligent and a thorough and conscientious worker. With the experience gained after many years’ work she learnt to do other, im-portant jobs and became highly proficient. Father saw to it that she got the jobs of typing various documents for the court. Due to the diligence of the sisters the Bibber family emerged from their demoralizing poverty and the girls achieved indcpen-dence. Leah, who was married in ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 409 {y94}

Far better that we be lenient with our wayward sons and this would give us the right claim before God : "True, we have sinned, but we are Your sons; as You sec, we, too, have sons of whose behavior we do not approve, but we do not banish them, God forbid. They always remain our chilren and our hearts arc open to them." It once happened that one of the shtetl’s well-known fanatics came running to Father, telling him excitedly that he had seen with his own ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 438 {y94}
137 In the early morning we rented a taxi and left for Oswiecim (Auschwitz), the well-known extermina-tion camp for the systematic slaughter of European Jewry. There we spent the whole day. It is very difficult to describe the mood and state of mind, while visiting such a German ,,Culture Insti-tution". Better leave it to the reader’s imagination... The first deplorable scene was the ,,gate" through which the trains with their unfortunate Jewish victims, men, women and children arrived. At the gate was the shocking inscription ,,Arbeit macht frei" (,,Work creates freedom"). The cynicism of these words is beyond belief. A ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 442 {y94}
... , the sadism and horrors of the camp. They were forced to bear it all, even the sufferings of those more pri-vileged until, at the end of their tether, they stumbled and fell, to be kicked away like worms by the shining boots of a Kapo. They will not recount all this. Why depress every-body and invoke the ghosts of nightmares, especially as their own consciences were not too clean...? Better speak of the solitary few they knew who ate their fill. In this sea of torment and carnage they prefer to see the drops of oil floating upwards, the remnants of a sunken ship. Yes, as we bite our own flesh with I have read somewhere about a group of people who set out for the North Pole, only to have their ship stuck in a sea of ice-bergs. Their cries of S.O.S., went unheard, their ...
