  ... Wladislaw Balicki vehemently opposed this step, and proposed that it should be turned into a Jewish Antiquities Building. He also persuaded the Municipal Council to hold the exhibition marking six centuries of the city within the Synagogue building. The Synagogue wardens whose names I remem-ber were: Menahem Mendel Sternheim. Hayyim Israel Mond, Joseph Meir Rosmarin, Israel Kishiner (Kesztecher), Isaac Sauerhaft, Naphtali Gold-stein, Shlomo Magenhcim and Mordechai and Joshua Flashen.

After the second "action" in Zolkiew, I came to Mosty, and with the help of my sister Bailci, I began working in the kitchen. At that time, a typhus epidemic broke out, and nearly all those who caught the disease died from it, among them Tova Kasner, the sister of Shmuel Kasner who now lives in Israel.
