החטיבה, שהכיר את ר' אשר, שם פעמיו לביתו בבואו העירה; הושיט לו ידו לשלום, אף העתיר
עליו נשיקות ואמר : ,ברמן, ברמן! ניטשעווא, ווסיא בודעט חאראשא!" (ברמן, אין דבר, הכל
יהיה טוב !). יודע אני את יחס חיילינו ליהודים, אך -- אל פחד! אשקוד על כך, שהכל יהיה
כשורה". מיד הודבקה הודעה על הבית, כי המפקד איוה לו משכן בו, ולר' אשר ניתנה תעודת
מעבר חפשי, כאוות נפשו. ...Source passage 2
