... On the very first day of the Nazi occupation, the com-
mandant, a general, summoned Rabbi Dr. Gedalja
Rozenman and ordered him to form a Judenrat of
twelve members. Rabbi Rozenman and other Jewish
leaders well understood they had no choice but to
comply. Later on, the Judenrat was enlarged to twenty-
four councilmen. ...Source passage 2

... Sunday, June 29, 1941, two days after the Nazis
entered Bialsytok, their commandant summoned Chief
Rabbi Gedalja Rozenman and the former Director of
the Kehilla, the engineer Efrajim Barasz. He ordered
them to form a Judenrat (a Jewish council), through
which the local Nazi authorities could issue all kinds of
ordinances and regulations affecting the Jews. Rabbi
Rosenman and Engineer Barasz conveyed the new edict
to other leading Jewish figures. Soon afterward, a
Judenrat was appointed containing twenty-four Jews,
including two women. They included: Rabbi Rozen-
man, Efrajim Barasz, Dowid Subotnik, Mr. Liman,
Jakow Goldberg (these five constituted the executive
committee); Mend! Kaplan, Dr. M. Kacenelson, H.
Glikson, Pejsach Kaplan, Mordechaj Chmelnik, Szmuel
Punianski, Rabbi Boruch Eli Halpern, Rabbi Pinje
Ajzensztat, Jakow Lifszic, Aba Furman, Mojsze Szwif,
Izak Markus; Awrom Tyktin, Cwi Wider, Pejsach
Chmelnicki and Szmuel Polonski. ...Connected nodes
