  ... Buch den früheren Mitgliedern dieser Gemeinden, welche durch ihr Wirken und Schaffen ein Zeit-bild jüdischen Gemeinschaftslebens geprägt haben. Die tatkräfte Hilfe einer kleinen Gruppe ermöglichte es einen längst gehegten Gedanken zu verwirklichen und das Buch herauszugeben. Dem Herausgeber stand nur ein beschränktes schriftliches Quellenmaterial zu Verfügung und so war er vorwiegend auf Erin-nerungen von Zeit- und Schicksalsgenossen angewiesen. Leider konnte auch dieses Informationsmaterial nicht voll ausgeschöpft werden, da im Laufe der Jahre eine Reihe von Persönlichkeiten, die im Mittelpunkte der Geschehenisse standen, verstorben sind. Wir danken allen Institutionen und Personen, die durch Rat und Tat, moralisch und finanziell, die Herausgabe des Buches ge-fördert haben ...

  ... made by the stu-dents in mastering Hebrew. I still recall the days of "Yamim-Noraim" (High-Holidays) when my father used to explain to us some of the chapters of 44Peyutim" (Liturgical Poetry) from the 4*Yotzroth" (prayers) concerning the "Assarah Harugeh Malchuth" (the ten martyrs of the Roman rulers). How the despotic, satraps cruely killed the 44Tanaim" along with the prominent Jewish Rabbi and leader, Rabbi Akibah. The story afflicted my spirit, I was overcome by emotion and instantly burst into tears. My father attempted to calm me down with the following remark: 44This is no the only cruelty which the Jewish Nation went through. When you study the "Tanach" the Talmud and the "Meforshim’* (interpretations) you will see that despite all the ,,Tzaroth" (troubles) which we Jews ...

  ... in the shtetl at the time, before the First World War, and it took a lot of courage. Reb Diamant was one of the forerunners of na-tional Zionist ideas which were then reaching the shtetl, but he was also a strict adherent to Jewish tradition and always present at the synagogue where his seat was reserved for him. Fanatical about Zionism and Eretz Yisrael, he had replaced his alle-giance to the "Rabbi", common in the Hassidic en-vironment, with that of Dr. Herzl, the great Zionist leader. He was consumed by a burning love of Eretz Yisrael, Zionism and the Hebrew language, and any-one daring to criticise these in his presence was to

  151 promise of a glowing future. He graduated from the Warsaw University with a golden diploma and was a gifted orator. At one time he appeared at a mass meeting on the first of May in the theatre square and spoke after the socialist leader Niedzialkovski. After Lushek’s speech the crowd shouted "Long live the workers of Palestine !״ This was a period of extreme and violent anti-semitism, and a special group of political Jewish re-sistance had been organized by the socialists to pro-tect this "golden youth", as he was called. My sister and I lived through all the horrors of the war. Henrika (Risha), my senior, studied law before ...

  ... remember him ? As it turned out this particular person had been my teacher in the public school: his name was Niziolek. from several countries — Greece, Yugoslavia, Hun-gary, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy, etc. We also visited the barracks in which the "Jewish Museum" is now located: a very few Jewish expo-nents can be found there. It appears to be a poor tourist attraction. Upon my question, "why was the leader of the visiting group passing by the Jewish Museum ?", came the reply "that this could be obtained by request from the tourist group through their guide." To my second question, "is a visit to other barracks also based on the request from the tourist to his guide," I got the following answer, "I’m only an employee, unable to answer your ques-tion..."
