  ... beseite auch unseren Studenten. Aber die Not - nennt man sie mit Recht die Mutter der Wissenschaft - trieb ihn aus der Schule in ein Geschäft. Er hielt es dort nicht lange aus und kehrte zum Studium zurück. Endlich machte er am Brodyer Gymnasium Auf-nahmeprüfung und legte dort die Reifeprüfung ab. Mit drei Freunden pflegte er schon in diesen Jahre Verkehr und bleibt ihnen auch später innig verbinden, dem älteren Rabin Braudes, dem geistreichen jiddischen und heb-räischen Schriftsteller, mit Ehrenpreis, der Oberrabbiner in Stockholm war, und mit Thon, Abgeordneten und Führer der Zionisten in Westgalizien und Schlesien. Sie begeistern sich gemeinsam an der jüdischnationalen Idee und Berkowicz gibt mit Ehrenpreis zusammen eine jiddische Volksbibliothek heraus. Das ist aber nicht ...

  ... done nothing to avoid it. Zalmaleh was familiar with one path, and one path only in the shtetl, and his legs led him there of their own volition — the path leading to the Beis Hamidrash. There was a story told about him, from the days when the Austrian regime was disintegrating and the Polish inhabitants of the shtetl set to looting the property of the Jews. The street was dark with the masses of inflamed looters who had flowed in from all the neighbouring districts and hamlets to fall upon the shops of the Jews like packs of wolves with the smell of the spoils in their nostrils. The whole shtetl rang to the sound of axes and iron bars, broken doors and smashed windows, sounds which were echoed in the fearful hearts of the unprotected Jews hiding from the maddened rioters behind their ...

  ... , except for cleaning up the offal left behind by the villagers and their livestock, to which the municipal street cleaners had to attend.4 So I have described three sides of the Ring Platz. On the fourth side there was a goodly apothecary shop, the post office, the court house and a village inn (kretschma). Not far from the apothecary’s, there ran a path to a wooden bridge where a narrow stream flowed. Summertime ,,Yee-den" used to enjoy refreshing themselves there. And it came to pass that there was someone who owned a water mill, and through various political tricks he diverted the flow of water to his mill, and then there was an end to summertime swimming. The bridge collapsed on one oc-casion when a stormy torrent came down suddenly from snow thawing in the mountains. The bridge ...

  ... and literary accomplishments. Thus the "intelligentsia" managed to take its place in the forefront of our society. From time to time, they managed even to attract some of the more scholarly of the older generation. On this fertile soil the idea of the return to Zion found a friendly climate and grew until it found its culmination in the rebuilt State of Israel of our day. Life thus flowed on in a seemingly unchanging pattern. Chil-dren grew up, took their place as breadwinners, married and car-ricd on the chain of Jewish tradition for themselves, as well as the coming generation. The emigration to America which was an important factor elsewhere, was unfelt here since very few left from our town and of those who did venture forth, some returned home after trying to find their ...

  ... forced his way into Jewish homes, swept the dishes from the table to the floor, smashed the furniture and obscenely humiliated the women. He flogged Ida Lipshitz. He invaded Polka Cipper who was married to the Jew, Dolek Guttman, ordered her to undress, ground her bare toes with his boots, and wbipped her unmercifully. He delighted in striking blows at women with bare fists until their blood flowed, and chasing them nude into the cold outdoors.* Once Steuer asked Sender Blum to accompany him to the Jewish cemetery. There he gave him detailed instructions for the removal of the tombstones, and the plowing under and leveling of the burial grounds. He specified that the work most be completed in two weeks. After Steuer returned to town, he summonded Blum to see him at once. Blum hurried over ...
