- Busk Yizkor Book (1965), image 346 {y99}
... disturbances during the 17th century, (especially in Poland’s eastern provinces) the position of the Jews of Busk turned for the worse, and many were killed. There is proof that by the end of the 17th century only 400 Jewish souls were alive. All were poverty stricken, toiling night and day for their mere existence. Busk, a town of many streams and brooks, always served as a strategic point in war. The river Bug was considered a natural stumbling block in war, and both attacker and defender desired to establish its frontline along the Bug. The town was consequently laid to waste by both. Houses were burned down by Tatars, Turks, Swedes, Cossacks and Poles. Citizens were robbed and murdered. Naturally the Jews suffered most of all. Peace ... - Busk Yizkor Book (1965), image 348 {y99}
... river is the famous "Bug" which flows through the middle of the town. Her tributaries are the Peltew from the east and the Rokitna and Solotwina from the west. In spring, the snow melts and all the brooks and rivers overflow. At this time the town looks like an island in the midst of a sea, a kind of miniature Venice. Slowly the floods recede, leaving behind them pools of water and marshes in the vast meadowlands around the town, making the area into a natural nesting ground for the many storks that come. There are six suburbs surrounding Busk. They are populated by Polish and Ruthenian peasants, artisans and other workers. A VII - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 517 {y94}
... it will rise in the resurrection !) Who would not sympathise with the poor wretch, whose plans have gone all awry in a single moment, destroyed by his own words. A loan is arranged for him at the Rabbi’s and he stumbles off to the nearest butcher’s to buy some meat for the Holyday. On reaching home the man breaks down with grief. He leaves the cart in the farmyard, enters without kissing many white spots on numberless heads, leaving them looking like a field swept by fire and visible from afar. The victims, also calles "Parhes", were called up for some reason on the Great Sabbath (probably because there was some connection between the blight and the boils of Egypt) to "present" themselves and "prepare" to leave at dawn. Though their alleged destination was ancient Egypt ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 527 {y94}
... outside and shuts the door behind him with a sigh of relief. Sometimes Scene 1 of the above Act takes place in a far corner, unnoticed by the busy publican. By the time he realizes what is going on it is too late ! The fight is at its highest and not only can he not separate the protagonists but he must take care not to be caught between them, when he would be in real trouble. The fire breaks out quickly, each side finds reinforcement among relatives and friends, and in a trice the pub turns into Sodom and Gommorah. By the time the police arrive there are cracked skulls, broken faces, and everything in sight is destroyed, broken and trampled out of recognition. Outside the bored horses are beginning to lose their patience. One of them, bothered by a trouble-some fly, goes berserk ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 528 {y94}
... sanity. He praises them both to the skies, upbraids them, reminds htem of their rcspec-table status and their responsibilities to their families. In fact, he does everything possible to quench the fire before it breaks out in a mighty flame. Choosing the one who still evinces some signs of reason, he tries a number of tricks to get him out-side, but does so in such a manner as will not ... to the pub to moisten their throats a little. The pub is full to overflowing. The tables and chairs are all taken. The air is thick and foggy with cigarette smoke. This is the meeting place of workers in the field and neighbours. A bottle of vodta is opened, glasses are lightly knocked against each other and drunk, to be followed by herring and rolls. Then a black or a white "Okuchimske" beer is ...
