In November and December 1941 the Riga Ghetto became crowded and to make room for the imminent arrival of German Jews, who were being shipped out of the country, all the remaining 30, 000 Jews in Riga were taken from the ghetto to the nearby Rumbula Forest and shot” (Wikipedia, 2016) .

‎1st edition. Original cloth. 4to, x + 205 (English) + 396 (Yiddish) + v pages. Illustartions throughout. “Bialystok's strength rests only in its extraordinary features but in its normal characteristics as well. The fifty thousand living there are doing reasonably well financially and also spiritually, like other Jews in Poland. Still, Bialystok was the first, at the end of the German occupation after World War I, to abolish its autocratic community leadership, replacing it with an exemplary democratic system that will do down in history. The Hebraist movement in Bialystok was only a part of the diffuse cultural advance in all of Poland. But when Bialystok established its Hebrew Gymnasium (high school) it was the rank and file Jews, not the radical Hebraists, who erected it. The tall, sturdy building evoked the admiration of the local community as well as of visitors from near and far, especially since it could accommodate seven hundred students. The Yiddish influence in Bialystok was also only a part of the Yiddish movement in all of Poland and in the entire world. But with the exception of Wilno, no other Jewish town besides Bialystok was able to fashion such an intricate Yiddish school network, let alone a high school, despite difficult circumstances. The orphan problem became one of the most critical social issues in Bialystok after World War I. Surely no other city had someone like Mrs. Rabinowicz, who, when the situation became next to hopeless, was the only leader in all of Poland who went to America to obtain the necessary assistance for these unfortunate children. It is possible to mention hundreds of other examples of community and private initiatives in Bialystok which clearly depict its special atmosphere of effervescing creativity – a contagion transmitted from one to another – compelling everyone to outdo his neighbour. Such is the breeding ground for important accomplishments. ” (Pejsach Kaplan, a prominent Bialystoker writer and social activist) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Bialystok.

‎BZSHEZSHIN YIZKER-BUKH. BRZEZIN MEMORIAL BOOK‎

‎1st edition, original cloth, 4to, xix+ 288+ (2) pages. Illustrations throughout. Yiddish, with English introduction. “There once was a town of Jewish tailors – Brzezin. From early dawn until late at night one could hear the music of the Singer sewing machines. It was the music of hard work, of intense anxiety, of a hard life, but also of noisy youth, semi-intellectuals, observant Jews, Hasidim who lived and had aspirations in the small Jewish town Brzezin. The Nazi savages extinguished this life forever, transformed it into ashes. Only a few Jews from the tailoring town Brzezin, by some miracle, remain, scattered over the entire world, individuals who were witnesses to the German cannibalism. May these words, frail in print, but inscribed not with ink but with blood, be a modest contribution to the matseve [gravestone] for my native town, Brzezin. Brzezin was one of the oldest and most popular Jewish communities in Poland. When this community was established, it carried the name Krakowek [Little Krakow]. At that time, the community extended from the Strykower highway to beyond the Jewish besoylem [cemetery] to the surrounding hills. The Polish noblewoman, Anna Lasocka, had brought the first weavers from afar into this community. Then the community developed even further and began to broaden its borders. At that time, the town already carried the name Brzezin. Jewish tailors came to Brzezin from many places, and after several generations, the town developed its own type of tailoring industry, by which it was known all over the world. A cottage industry was the main occupation here. As early as 1772, Brzezin was famous for its mass production in tailoring. Until 1914 the great Czarist Russia was flooded with the inexpensive products of Brzeziner tailors. In the years between the two world wars, the export of Brzezin industry was spread over many lands in Europe and into other parts of the world. In this, the great Jewish magaziners [owners of clothing enterprises] – exporters such as Frankensztejn, Tuszynski, Sulkowicz, and others played a great role. The Jews in Brzezin did not only work, they also participated actively in the socio-political and cultural life of the town, had their representatives on the town council – in town hall, and had their religious and secular educational, cultural, and social organizations. Materially, it was a life of Jewish poverty, but spiritually, socially, and culturally, it was rich. ” (translated from book) SUBJECT(S) : Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Poland -- Brzeziny (Lo´dz´) ; Jews.

A decree of the Polish kingdom is found in the archives of the Gliniany community. The decree announced that the city of Gliniany was to be referred to as the “Royal Free City of Gliniany. ” The wordsKrolewstwo Wolny Miasto Gliniany are engraved on the seal of the city hall. Due to the privilege of appearing in the king's decree, the nobleman who owned the city no longer had the right to force residents of Gliniany to work for him as forced laborers. After the death of the Polish king, Casirmirz the Great, Polish senators traveled to Hungary and crowned King Ludwig of Hungary as king of Poland. The senators gave him the gift of the entirety of Galicia, which in those days was calledCherwony Rus [Red Russia], which was a part of Poland. When the issue became known in the kingdom of Poland, it caused tremendous dissatisfaction. In Gliniany a large meeting was held, which subsequently led to a political trial, because of the actions of the senators. Ludwig attended the trial together with a regiment of Hungarian hussars. The result of the trial was the beheading of seven Polish senators. In Polish history, the trial was known as ‘The Tragedy of Gliniany. ’ Many years ago there was a large district that covered a large territory. On one side there were fields and forests that extended all the way to the village of Khonochovka, near the city of Premyshlan. On the other side forests and fields stretched all the way to just south of Lemberg. Over time, the size of the territory that had belonged to the city declined, and in the 18th century the city of Gliniany, together with the neighboring gentile regions, included an area of approximately nine square miles. ” (translation from book) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Ukraine, Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) , Ethnic relations.

English title: “Lomza- In Memory of the Jewish Community. ” “After the end of World War I, the ethnic structure changed significantly. After Orthodox Russians and German Protestants had left Lomza, it became a city of two religions, being inhabited by Catholic Poles and Jews. After regaining independence, Lomza reached the status of a county town in Bialystok Province (from 1939 on in Warsaw Province) . It was also the local centre of trade, crafts and industry, and also the seat of garrison at the same time. A few high school operated there, and what is more, the local press in Polish and Yiddish language was published. In 1925, Pope Pius XI made Lomza the capital of Lomza Diocese. After the outbreak of World War II, on 7 September 1939, Lomza was destroyed as a result of bombing. Three days later Germans entered the city. On 28 September 1939, the city was handed over to Red Army units. Lomza was incorporated into the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The occupiers transported to Siberia. When the war between the Germans and the Soviets began, on 22 June 1941, Lomza was bombarded by German Luftwaffe, while on 24 June – occupied by Wehrmacht. In July, the city and the whole land of Bialystok were subordinated to the Gauleiter of East Prussia. A ghetto was formed in August. Jewish inhabitants and refugees from other areas were relocated there. In September 1941 about 31, 000 Jews from the ghetto were sent before a firing squad; most of those who remained were killed in Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau. During the war (fights on the line of the River Narew) , in winter 1944/1945, about 70 per cent of Lomza's buildings were destroyed. The reconstructed city was the centre of county in Bialystok Province to 1975, and next it was the capital of Lomza Province, existing to 1998, as a result of an administrative reform in 1975. In 2013, the city had a status of the centre of Lomza County and a city with county rights (so-called municipal county) . ” (sztelt.org 2018) SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Poland -- Lomz? A -- History.
