  ... turn came to be served and you were asked what you wanted you became confused and forgot how to say ,,Please give me..." in Polish, even though you had rehearsed it all the way and passed the test at home before leav-ing. There was a story go:ng round about such an unfortunate customer who came to the pharmacy once and became so confused with the tinkling of the bell and the sharp smell of spices and drugs that he completely forgot the words he had been taught to ups. When some irate father nevertheless took the trouble to go down in search for his son, this could be taken as a sign of the latter’s heavy crime. The culprit, warned in time by his friends’ cry : ,,Your father’s coming !" and being well aware of what was in store for him, would run away like a rabbit, leaving his pursuer ...

  ... and their stock placed in the street. The police saw to it that Jews were neither allowed out in the street, nor even permitted to look out of their windows. The sum result was tragic: two dead (Hershl Wiener and a young boy named Grubner) and several wounded, who re-mained crippled all their lives (such as Mrs. Rosenwasser and Reb Chaim Shlomo Rosenfeld). All of the stores were ... right; their instincts did not deceive them. Some time later a new trouble began, in the guise of the "Hallerchiks," the Polish "liberation army," which the anti-Semitic General Haller had assembled from the dregs of humanity overseas. Their first and most successful combat on arrival in the country was their battle against Jewish beards. They cut and tore beard and skin together from the faces of defenseless Jews. ...

  ... 1765. In the documents of the courts of that time, the office of the Mayor was listed as the "Advocatus". Boibcrkc was first recognized with the official status of a city or town in 1469. Thanks to the yearly fairs, the town made swift progress, so much so, that nearby Lemberg complained that Boiberkc competed with her in business. In these early years Boibcrkc was overrun by the Turks, as well as other nations, who burned many houses in the town. As a result the inhabitants could not pay their taxes and in 7414, the King, Kazimiczh, had to forego all taxes for a period of ten years. B: f^oibcrke was of the oldest towns in Eastern ^^Galicia. It was a large village until 1469. On May 17th of that year, Kazhimiczh Yagc-lonsky, to whom the village belonged, changed it into a town ...
• Budzanow Yizkor Book (1968), image 319 {y96}
  ... The town of Budzanow by Trembovla, near Tarnopol, Lvov region, is situated on the banks of the River Seret. The town itself sits in a valley that is surrounded by mountains which are covered with green in the summer and with ice caps in the winter. Budzanow is an old town, probably dating back to the 16th Century. In those days, the town was frequently attacked by the Turks and the Tartars. It was at the 1699 Peace of Carlovitz that the entire Podo-lia region came under the domination of the Poles. Then, 80 years after the first partition of Poland, Galicia was ceded to Austria. In the beginning of the 18th Century it was annexed to Russia. In 1815 Austria once again took over control of the region, until the outbreak of World War I. After the war. the Ukrainians ...

  ... 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 and stability returned to Busk in 1772 during Austria’s occupation of Galicia. Economic conditions improved, and a more liberal and tolerant attitude was accorded to the Jews.
