Sinopsis

In the dreadful summer months of the year 1942, when the Germanmass-murderers were each day shooting, burning and gassingthousands of Polish Jews, in the fateful days - after the Yuden actionin Kittev - when I myself wasn?t sure about the next day, I resolvedthat as long as I still lived, to record the appalling events. I began towrite the record, the daily events and experiences of Kittev and thesurrounding cities and towns, according to the authentic reports wereceived from those places.One of the main reasons that moved me to record all these bloodyevents was my then naïve belief that the great democratic world hadno idea of what was happening, because if they did know what theGermans were doing, they would surely employ all means to stopthe horrible destruction-work of the Nazis, their murderous actionsagainst the innocent Jews. All Polish Jews shared this belief, as did theJews of our city, Kittev.Since nobody believed that any Jew could be saved from the bloodytalons of the Nazi evil beast and the Ukrainian murderers, that hemight be able, after the war, to appear as a living witness and accusethe mass-murderers before the world tribunal, I resolved to make mymodest contribution to the history of the German murder-actionsthat they should not be forgotten. I employed every free minuteand wrote down every day what we experienced until the completedestruction of Kittev and her Jews.Eisig HusenApril 10, 1958
