  ... alternate head of the Judenrat of Rzeszow. His task was to collect money, as he had done so expertly in Kolbuszowa. Marcuse was made commander of the order-keeping force in Rzeszow because he had excelled in obeying Twardon's commands. Izak Silber, who was only 16 or 17 years old, was designated Marcuse's assistant. In one week Paszek managed to collect the second half of the last tax. On the third day, July 7, the entire ghetto area was encircled by Polish and German police and several S.S. units. A special unit of the death-platoon was stationed beside the cemetery, called the ,,Umschlag-Platz" by the Germans. According to the orders issued, the Jews of Slowackiego, Bluma, Szpitalna, Baldachowka Streets and the adjacent alleys were to assemble there, bringing only a bundle not exceeding ...

  ... from before the war and black-market operators who earned a good deal. He assumed the sum required would total about 200,000 zloty; as it developed his estimate was wrong: nearly 1,000,000 was de- manded to cover .the government and private debts. Poles came from all directions with imaginary debts outstanding to them and the Germans confirmed everything they brought in without in- vestigating. This rime, therefore, Paszek did not succeed in collect- ing the whole amount demanded within the brief time limit until he met with some men again and again, pleading, cajoling, demanding and even locking several in his jail to persuade them to part with what money they still had and feared to give up. The final day was the worst. Meanwhile the Kolbuszowa Poles did an excellent business. The Jewish ...

  KOLBUSZOWA MEMORIAL BOOK 78 shot to death. How to raise such a large sum in so brief a time under the ghetto conditions of poverty and want was a grievous problem. But Paszek, convinced that Ehaus meant what he said and would not hesitate .to carry out his threat, hastened to start collecting the required funds. Many quarreled and complained, but people sold the last of their remaining possessions and after much effort and suffering the full amount was ready. Everyone was relieved. On June 18 the Judenrat appeared as a body in the Rzeszow office to hand over the money. All the Councils assembled as before in the large hall, each president ...
• Kolbuszowa Yizkor Book (1971), image 824 {y239}
  75 KOLBUSZOWA MEMORIAL BOOK Twardon demanded that Paszek bring him a report of the dead and wounded. Finding that three whom the Germans had taken for dead—Moshe Landau, Leib Zuckerbrodt and Mordechai Frei- feld—were in fact badly wounded but alive and attended by a physician (a Jew who had come to us from Zbaszyn in 1939), Twardon sent his official physician to examine them. The cruel Dr. Nickowski removed the bandages from the severe head and stomach wounds of Landau and Zuckerbrodt and left them un- treated. They perished that very day. He dealt similarly with Freifeld, and the inspector of the German police came and per- sonally put an ...

Shaving their beards was for these pious men a "taste of death itself". A few days later Paszek again had to inform them that Twardon demanded 5 kilo of gold. The Judenrat began to collect the gold. Quarrels erupted, for the few who had a little gold left were hoarding it for the worst emergency. When, however, only 3V2 kilo were collected, and Paszek warned them that Twardon would execute 15 Jews for failing to give him the full five, the remainder was quickly supplied, hard as it is to comprehend where the gold came from after all the suffering and hardships. * * * But the most terrible day for Kolbuszowa was April 28, 1942, when ...
