  ... " in Krakau, setzte seine Ausbildung in Wien und Paris fort. Nach Beendigung des Stu-diums im Jahre 1905 übersiedelte er nach Bielitz, seine schöp-ferische Arbeitsstätte bis zu seinem tragischen Ende im Jahre 1943. Im Laufe der Jahre unterbricht er oft seine Tätigkeit um die neuen Strömungen in der Malkunst kennen zu lernen, neue Quellen für seine Schöpfung zu erschliessen.

Die Verbundenheit zur Natur, den Bergen, hat auf sein künstlerisches Schaffen einen magischen Einfluss. Seine Liebe ...

  BARANOW On the cast was the road leading to the "Wasserlaeh" (a body of stagnant water) and to Tarnobrzeg (County seat). The "Wasserlaeh" also served modest economic and social functions. Its polluted waters furnished a limited supply of fish for the community. In winter it was used by the non-Jews for ice skating and on Rash Hashono by the Jews for Tashlich. The narrow lane in the north, paved with broad flagstones, led to the cluster of Jewish institutional buildings such as the Bes Midrosh (Syna-gogue), the Rabbi's residence, and the Mikveh. The road on the north-western corner pointed to Dolansky's "Castle" (The Hoif). This was an ...

  ... to start anew. On the morrow of this "action" the Germans collected the Jewish belongings what they "Inherited" from the people they murdered the previous day. as if to fulfill the saying "Thou hast murdered and also taken possession!" In order to make it easier for themselves in the future, the Gestapo confined us into a much smaller and closed-in ghetto. They brought us into half ruined houses ... special permits expired. This served as a sign, that in the coming days, a complete and decisive purge of the remaininq Jews would take place. We still do not know the reason, which eventually caused the Germans to postpone the last "action" for a number of months. In March, 12 Jewish women received permission from the Gestapo to go and purchase whatever they needed in the market Novi-Rinek. There ...

  ... gold upon your apparel. How- arc the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle; Jonathan upon thy high place is slain; I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; Very pleasant hast thou been unto me; Wonderful was thy love to me Passing the love of women. How arc the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished; Reaching Mount Gilboa. we met Bcril ... the Philistines rejoice. Lest the daughters of the uncircumsized triumph. Ye mountains of Gilboa. Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, Ncithicr fields of choice fruits: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away. The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
