  ... prodigious family and only a small remnant managed to escape from the Nazis. The name of the Brakha family has been men-tioned. Special mention must be made of Beileh, daughter of Me’ir and Ethelleh Brakha who, when the assassins drove her to be slaughtered in the forest, jumped from the truck with her baby in her arms and was shot on the spot. May God avenge her. I also wish to mention Ha'im Dick, may God avenge him. Running away from the Nazis, he was shot in prison in Lvov by Hitler’s allies at the time, the Soviets, who accused him of spying for the... Germans. The only survivors of the families men-tioned above are Reb Naftali Feit’s daughter, Haya (Helen) and the young son Moshe. Two sons of Reb Asher Doppelt, Feivel and David, were also saved.

These goods would be bought mainly by "oifkoyferkes", women who made their living by reselling them to the "bala-busies", the housekeepers who were too busy in their stores to go out looking for bargains in the market. A lively bargaining goes on between the Jewish women and the villagers. Each hen and duck is felt all over; their behinds are breathed on to reveal the skin under the feathers and its level of fat. As the buyers look for all the malformations known to man in the prof-fered goods, they offer a price far below that which has been asked : the butter is as pale as lime; the In the case of a respectable farmer, things arc more complicated.

  ... wide throughout Poland, and the German newspapers, too, wrote about him, point- ing him out as an example. He was a sadist and murderer who shed Jewish blood relentlessly in the entire Kolbuszowa district. He it was who brought on our Jewry endless suffering which culminated in our banishment. On his first day in office, he called the members of .the Councils of Kolbuszowa, Majdan and Sokolow before him and introduced himself. Everything must tick with precision, he announced, and immediately issued his first command: for all the Jews of Majdan to leave the city within 24 hours and go to Rzeszow.
