  ... believed their King was right in the disagreement with Serbia and, knowing nothing of Bosnia and Herzegovina (two Serbian provinces captured by Austria from the Turks and annexed in 1908, thus causing tension and enmity with Serbia) they believed that if the Kaiser demanded these pro-vinces he certainly had a right to them. After the assassination of the crown-prince, the Arch-Duke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, they were convinced that the murderers should be punished. But a decla-ration of war, as they saw it, was a harsh punishment, spelling a horrifying danger. In a gloomy atmosphere of mourning which per-vaded all the Jewish shtetls, the naive ,,mourners by order of the government"—the Rabbis and Dayanim, were given a task far beyond their powers — to preach to their congregations ...

The Jews of Busk traded with them in grain and cattle and made an honest livelihood. Many of the surrounding farms were the property of the Polish Earl Kazimierz Badeni, who was an Austrian patriot and a favorite of the royal family of Habsburg in Vienna. At one time Badeni served as Prime Minister to H.M. Franz Joseph the First, from the house of Habsburg in Vienna. Earl Badeni often visited Busk and inquired into the lot of the local Jews. He knew many personally and spoke with them in Yiddish. Often, he exempted poor Jews from paying the town taxes. The only remnant ...

Diese von dem Bürgermeister Ferdinand Czema und den Rathmannen Andreas Krischke, Georg Krauss und Gottfried Machatschky, sowie dem Notar Heinrich Gottfried Frantz gezeichnete Zuschrift ver-fehlte ihres Zweckes nicht und die Einhebung des Schutzgeldes wurde der Schlossherrschaft strengstens untersagt. Trotzdem wagte es dieselbe wenige Jahre danach, dieselbe Willkür aus-zuüben. Als im Februar 1769 die jüdischen Wollhändler in Bielitz eingetroffen waren, liess sie der fürstliche Schloss-hauptmann zu sich kommen, forderte in gebieterischer Weise die Entrichtung ...
