... zu dem glücklichen Entschlüsse eine Ferialverbindung zu gründen. Dieser Entschluss ruft eine ungeheure Begeisterung hervor. Im nur der Jugend eigenen Enthu-siasmus umarmen sich die Studenten und schwören einander ihren Beschluss in Tat umzusetzen. So ward an jenem Abend, glorreichen Andenkens, unsre liebe Ferialverbindung gegründet, der wir alle so viel verdanken. Schon in den nächsten Tagen traten die Mitglieder zur Wahl eines Ausschusses zusammen. Dieses erste Präsidium bestand in den Herren: Präs. stud. med. Max Höniger, Vizepräs.: stud. tech. Philipp Singer, Schriftführer: stud. tech. Josef Klipper. Der Ausschuss begann seine Tätigkeit mit der Einführung von regelmässigen Konventen, in welchen die Grundprinzipien der Verbindung, die Statuten und die in Bielitz ... - Baranow Yizkor Book (1964), image 245 {y32}
... They then moved on to the next town where they would repeat the process. On the average, around 70 such transient economic outcasts passed through Baranow weekly. A voluntary committee was organized to handle this phase of activity. A tax was levied on the Jewish community and each family was obligated to pay a certain amount of money and two meals weekly for this purpose. Thus the transient poor was taken care of in an organized fashion. He re-ceived a sum of money plus two meals and a nights lodging if he "stayed over." This averted the spectacle of the migrant poor parading from door to door. It saved him time and effort and he was able to move on and cover more "territory." Part of this levy was designed for the local poor. In addition the income from Moos Chitim and contributions from ... - Berezhany Yizkor Book (1978), image 481 {y48}
... The ghetto was closed and without a special permit, it was forbidden to leave it.This brought about the breakdown in the barter business with the peasants of the neighborhood. We also lost at once most of our hiding places and the advantage of escaping from the town in time of danger. The next "action" was not late in coming. By the month of January 1943. 3 actions, each one more cruel than the other, had taken place. We were only a small group of people left in the ghetto, a mere remnant of the Jews of our town. At the be-ginning of February, the Judenrat received an order from the Gestapo to bring back to town all these Jews, who received special permission to live outside the ghetto. On the 15th February 1943 the validity of these special permits expired. This served as a sign, that ... - Berezhany Yizkor Book (1978), image 485 {y48}
... were put in Jail. We collected 5 kilos of gold articles and brought It to the Kreishauptmann. He took the gold and put It in his pocket, but didn't release the people. Instead, they were loaded on trucks and transported to an unknown destination. They disappeared, without leaving any trace. The peasants in the neighbourhood told later that these people were murdered. The Germans claimed, that they were taken to a labor camp. We lived witn the hope of seeing them alive again. The German machine to finish off the Jews, worked without a halt. A new order came from the Kreishauptmann He could not stand so many Jews in our town. He. therefore, decided to transport at least, one hundred of them weekly to nearby towns. The feeble, the old and the sick had to go first. Only those, who were able ... - Berezhany Yizkor Book (1978), image 490 {y48}
... was organized. In 1920 it changed its name from The Organization of Jewish Women for the Supervision of Orphans to The Socieiy for the Protection of Jewish Orphans. This worthy cause was sup-ported by Brzezany emigrants to the U.S.A. and particularly by the family of Isaac and Rosalie Feld from Philadelphia. Thanks to this aid an Orphans-home was built on Strazhacka street. The majority of the 32 orphans, of both sexes, were taken in and brought up in this home. They received a thorough basic education and in addition an occupational training, so that they could later take care of themselves. This Orphans-home ceased to function when Second World War broke out. The destiny of these orphans was part and parcel of the destiny of the Jews in Brzezany.
