... family was sitting and waiting for his arrival. Anyone watching a man who had come to Reb Hirsheleh for advice and saw him listening and con-ccntrating on the problem would have thought that he was watching two partners in consultation about something that concerned them both equally. Seeing the family sitting together on Saturday nights was an unforgettable experience. There was the grandfather, Reb Shalom Horowitz, God rest his soul, at the head of the table, Reb Hirsheleh and his wife Pessia, the sons and daughters — all relaxed and engaged in enjoyable conversation. Anyone who happened to open their door was cordially invited to join the company, with the warmth of which only this family was capable. Avraham Levite / SHLOMO ZISSEL ADLER licensed to sell "vodka".

His eldest daughter was a teacher and his son studied law. In the mid 30’s he fell ill and did not survive the opera-tion. For a short time he had been a member of the town council but his position as a judge prevented him from being active in public life. His whole family was destroyed at the beginning ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 415 {y94}
... seriously from diabetes and broken in spirit, came to Brzozow with her ser-vant, completely destitute. The town Jews did their best to support and assist her. Sara Bibber (then secretary of the town Judcnrat) requested my help and I gave her some money. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Horowitz passed away, thus cheating the Hitlerite hangmen of a victim. I cannot speak of the Horowitz family without mentioning their faithful servant, a woman Mrs. Ho-rowitz had brought with her from her birthplace, Tschortkow. She was a simple, illiterate Ruthenian who became a part of the family. A lonely spinster, she was devoted to the children whom she tended from the day of their birth, and loved them with all her heart. Such loyalty is truly remarkable — she accompanied her mistress to the bitter ... - Brzozow Yizkor Book (1984), image 481 {y94}
... delivered a short speech with the following conclusion, "the diplomats have stopped talking, now the cannons will begin talking...". Shortly afterwards I was called out to make the necessary swearing in for all Jewish soldiers. I was the only Jewish under-officer among the whole group. There were also two Jewish soldiers. The oath-taking was performed by the municipal Rabbi of Sanok, Rabbi Tobias Horowitz. The following, Tuesday night we were loaded into a cargo train without knowing in which direction we were travelling. After leaving the city of Sanok we quickly reoriented ourselves.
