  ... . Es war zu staunen, dass in diesem Kreise sich soviel Verständnis für alle möglichen Probleme in der Diskussion zeigte Um nur einige von den Prelegenten zu erwähnen, möchte ich be-merken, dass Prof. Türk und Dr. Zipper sehr oft als Vortragende zur Verfügung standen. Wenn kein Gastredner zur Verfügung stand, war es der Vor-sitzende selbst, der mit einem vorbereiteten Referat zur Stelle war. Wie wohl der Verband nach aussen hin apolitisch war, waren seine Mitglieder zu 75 Prozent Zionisten aller Schattierungen. Es ist daher kein Wunder, dass der Verband in verschiedenen Kadenzen durch seine Mitglieder Berek, Fleissig, Gerad, Popiol

  ... Polish and Lithuanian royalty■ In 1795 Prussia became Lord and Master of Suwałk and the Prussians ruled until 1807 when Suwałk took on a French flavor under Napoleons1 rule. It is under the enlightened reign of Napoleon that the first Jews, forty-four in all, were permitted to settle in Suwałk itself.

It must be assumed that during the reign of Casimir the Great, in the 14th century, when Jews found refuge in Poland from persecution in Western Europe, they fanned out in its fertile plains and settled along the shores of the Vistula. It is claimed that the cemetery contained monuments (uprooted by the Nazis during their occupation of the town) that bore names of Jews who died some 400-500 years ago. The accuracy of this claim was not established ...
