Dear Naftali! I send you my book of our history. No one will ever make a pilgrimage to the Biala shores and to all the scattered graves of our closest ones. If I have succeeded in assuring that our families and the details of their lives are not forgotten, I have achieved my purpose. Without your help, I would never have accomplished this. D. Kac 21.07.1983, Warsaw |
