Kittever Memorial Book - Eisig Husen

Descriere Kittever Memorial Book - Eisig Husen

\nIn the dreadful summer months of the year 1942, when the German\n \nmass-murderers were each day shooting, burning and gassing\n \nthousands of Polish Jews; in the fateful days - after the Yuden action\n \nin Kittev - when I myself wasn't sure about the next day, I resolved\n \nthat as long as I still lived, to record the appalling events. I began to\n \nwrite the record, the daily events and experiences of Kittev and the\n \nsurrounding cities and towns, according to the authentic reports we\n \nreceived from those places.\n \nOne of the main reasons that moved me to record all these bloody\n \nevents was my then naïve belief that the great democratic world had\n \nno idea of what was happening, because if they did know what the\n \nGermans were doing, they would surely employ all means to stop\n \nthe horrible destruction-work of the Nazis, their murderous actions\n \nagainst the innocent Jews. All Polish Jews shared this belief, as did the\n \nJews of our city, Kittev.\n \nSince nobody believed that any Jew could be saved from the bloody\n \ntalons of the Nazi evil beast and the Ukrainian murderers, that he\n \nmight be able, after the war, to appear as a living witness and accuse\n \nthe mass-murderers before the world tribunal, I resolved to make my\n \nmodest contribution to the history of the German murder-actions\n \nthat they should not be forgotten. I employed every free minute\n \nand wrote down every day what we experienced until the complete\n \ndestruction of Kittev and her Jews.\n \nEisig Husen\n \nApril 10, 1958\n
