  ... Bestand, noch dauerte seine Tätig-keit in dem genannten Verein lang und so sehen wir ihn 1903 wider in Wien. Nun widmet er sich unter der aneifernden Leitung seines Universitätslehrers David Heinrich Müller semitischen Studien und promovierte 1906 zum Doktor der Philosophie. Im Jahre 1910 erschien in den Mitteilungen der Wiener Akademie der Wissen-schäften seine Abhandlung: "Der Strophenbau in den Psalmen". In dem grossangelegten Werke Monumenta Judaica bearbeitete er die Abteilung Monumenta Targumica. Von den überaus zahlreichen Beiträgen, die er deutschen, jidischen und hebräischen Zeitun-gen lieferte, seien nur die Artikel in der "Welt" hervorgehoben und ganz besonders die Aufsätze, in denen er das Archiv des so-zialistischen Schriftstellers Liebermann und im Anschluss daran ...

  ... ihre Arbeit minderwertig sei. Da der Vorsitzende des Vereines selbst ein ausgezeichneter Fachmann in seinem Berufe war, benützte er jede Gelegenheit, ob in öffentlichen Diskussionen, oder in kleineren Zirkeln, seine Kollegen immer wieder anzuspornen, zu beweisen, dass das schon eingefleischte Vorurteil vollkommen unberechtigt war. Im Jahre 1935 wurde im Saal der jüdischen Kultusgemeinde eine ganze Woche lang eine Ausstellung jüdischer Handwerksarbeit gezeigt, deren Erzeugnisse in ihrer Ausführung und Exaktheit in nichts von der vielgepriesenen deutschen Arbeit zurückstand. In fast allen Handwerksberufen waren Juden vertreten, jüdische Schmiede und Maurer gab's allerdings nicht in Bielitz. Wie bereits oben erwähnt, war dies nur eine der Aufgaben. Allwöchentlich am Mittwoch fanden ...

  ... is to each and every one of us, the survival of an idea, of a faith, of a religion, of the right to be different is more important than even life itself. Fach time we take this Book in hand we reconfirm our faith that we as Jews can not be obliterated from this earth. For, no matter how many of us arc gassed, or how many of us arc cremated, so long as one of us survives, or so long as one of our hooks remains or one of our ideas endures, wc survive and our culture, our heritage, our tradition is transmitted, as if by a lit candle, from one generation to the next. And so, the story of Suwałk is written to acquaint the living with the tragic events of the past. It is written so that »c may take pride in our heritage, courage in our actions and reinforce our faith in our ultimate survival ...

  ... World Jewry, not only of this generation but of all generations past. It is a book written with a very familiar theme and a recurring history. The story is as old as the Bible itself. The settlement of Jews in a stangc land; how they prospered and how they multiplied through the years — remaining nevertheless always strangers in a strange land no matter how long their tenure or how great the contribution to their society. Then, a time of stress and of crisis, and finally of social disorganization with its accompanying stages of humiliation, degradation and annihilation. The story varies only in degree. So was it in Kgypt, so was it in Persia, so was it in Spain, so was it in Germany and so it was in Suwałk, Fortunately the familiar theme and the recurring history do not end at this point- ...

  ... three factions lived in complete harmony. In general the individual factions were not too partisan in their ideological distinction. care of the poor As the economic conditions of the Jews in Poland deteriorated (mainly as a re-suit of deliberate discriminatory legislation by the government) ever incrcas-ing numbers of Jews "took to the road." These destitute Jews would travel from town to town stopping in each one long enough to have a meal and make their rounds from house to house collecting measly Groshcn. They then moved on to the next town where they would repeat the process. On the average, around 70 such transient economic outcasts passed through Baranow weekly. A voluntary committee was organized to handle this phase of activity. A tax was levied on the Jewish community and each ...
