  ... was born in the year 1877 in Radlow. He died in the year 1951 in Biala-Bielsko. Our mother Rozalia, the daughter of Genendel and Mordechai Hirsch Loichter, was born in the year 1888 in Zborowitze near Tarnow and passed away in the year 1964. Our aunt Rachel Eisen, Israel Eisen's widow and her sons Moshe and Natan with their families were murdered by the Nazis. Jacob Eisen was a honest and generous religious man. He left his door open for everyone who needed some adivce or help. He was one of the few Jews that had a farm in the area. In this farm he prepared Chalutzim before they would immigrate to Israel.

He listened to what I said and tried to work for a few days, but broke down. In the next selection he joined the cavalcade of the doomed. Let me mention other victims from among our townsmen who died in the camp: Yissachar Bayliss, Reuben Schertz, Moshe Schertz and Reuben Eisen, may God avenge them. Each man to his fate. To survive in Auschwitz a man needed his daily quota of miracles, in the manner of a deep-sea diver who needs air to breathe, without which he cannot live a single moment. Those who are no longer with us also recounted the daily, even hourly miracles without which they would have been lost. Then would come the moment ...
