  ... Grubner, Shimen Laufer, and others. Our assigments were to arrange for: 1. Public discussions of issues facing the Jewish people; 2. Literary discussions; 3. Distribution of Yiddish books; 4. Instruction in speaking and writing Yiddish well; 5. Theatrical performances; and 6. Improving the economic situation of the proletarian youth of Chrzanow. Among the speakers who visited us I remember the brilliant personalities of Zerubavel, Alexander Chashin, Chrzanowicz (Kasriel), Nachman Mifelev (who came to Chrzanow countless times and came to like the town very much). Yakov Kener and Binyomin Kohn once missed the train back to Cracow. They had to spend the entire night walking around the town, because not a single hotel would give these "bums" a place to sleep.

Observing the scene in the shoe shop once I was reminded of the role Moishc Gottlieb had played in Boiberkc. I recall how the Chazan in the Boibcrkcr Shul where Gottlieb worshipped Brenner. The last two also house painters, in later years were among the founders of several, institutions in the Galician quarters in New York.

For us kids the next day was a lark. First, we did not have to "daven," no one put on "tefillin." Such was the custom: in mourning one does not have a head for "dave-nin."
