... Postwar Bialystok found itself isolated from the
rest of Poland, because the rail route between it and
Warsaw was exceedingly dangerous for Jews. Polish
bandits would often forcibly remove Jews from the
trains at stations along the way and shoot them, despite
protective escorts provided by the Polish military. Fre-
quently these soldiers were unable to carry out their
function. For example, two days after a pogrom ina
town on the Bialystok-Warsaw route, four guarded cha-
lutzim (people preparing to settle in Israel) from the
Gordonia Kibbutz in Bialystok were removed from
their train and shot. Their bodies were buried in the
ghetto cemetery on Zabia Street. ...Connected nodes
