... My father, Jacob Sapirstein, was born in Bialystok
and later lived in Grajewo, a nearby village. In 1905,
the Cossacks came and burned it down. At that time

father decided to leave rather than go into the army,
because he had seen his friends coming back as cripples.
He watched despairingly as straw-filled wagons pulled
up, disgorging maimed soldiers with no concern for

... Jewish culture in the ghetto. They wrote about other
tragic episodes in Jewish history and chronicled the
daily atrocities in their own environment.

ghetto seemed like an eternity to the inmates forced to

squalor. Thousands of men and women were let out
daily to perform slave labor for the Nazis. Tragic news
reached the ghetto in grim detail about the suffering
and extermination of Jews in surrounding communities
such as Slonim, Lomza, Bielsk, Grajewo, Tyktin and
other places. These reports were brought to Bialystok
by Jews who had managed to escape from these other
liquidated towns. Many Bialystoker Jews had relatives
in these places, and the news of their annihilation
brought even more pain to their lives. ...Source passage 5
