Along with the bereaved family, we mourn the untimely death of the secretary of our organization, beloved more than anyone. Reb Avraham Zacks of blessed memory He dedicated much of his time, and gave of himself selflessly in conducting the official duties of the organization of Zawiercie expatriates. A bitter fate awaited him, and he did not merit seeing the “Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and its Region”, even though he was among the first to dedicate himself to the production this book.

For the 20th Yahrzeit of our father, and the 15th Yahrzeit of our mother: Ozer Israel the son of Reb Aaron Zeifman, and Lea the daughter of Israel Meir Borenstein. On the murder in the Holocaust of our family: Zeifman family, Avraham, Goltshe, Chaya Rachele and Ezrele, Yirmiahu and Breindel, Moshe and Riva and their children Borenstein family: Zisman and Sara Beila, Abba and Rachel and their children Jutkowicz family: Yitzchak and Miriam and their children Freidman family: Yechiel and Yutel and their children Who were murdered in sanctification of G-d's name by the Nazis. Every Zawiercie expatriate has a great deal to tell. In a few brief lines, we wish to tell of the tireless involvement of our parents in the town of Zawiercie. Memories come together in the head, like pages in a book. All the family and friends are no longer with us. They were murdered in Auschwitz. Also destroyed, were the vibrant institutions – the charitable fund and Spoldzelczy Bank – where our father was involved. Our father was a communal representative and a trustee of the Chevra Kadisha (Burial Society). He was related to and a student of the Sochaczewer Rebbe. Even though he worked hard and his time for charitable work was limited, he taught a class for youths in the shtibel. At all times, but especially before the festivals, he would give secret donations to his needy friends. He wrote a book on his sickbed, which was destroyed along with the destruction of Jewish Zawiercie. Before his passing, he left behind a will that he shoud not be eulogized and that a large monument not be erected over his grave. During his illness, the following friends assisted him: Shlomo Yehuda Rozencweig, Yoel Cwygel, Mordechai Hillel Windman, Moshe Chaim Rozenblum, Hershel Rappaport, Reuven Dafner, Nechemia Borenstein, and his son Nota Feivel Bornstein in Vienna. With great dedication, our mother enabled our father to continue learning. She supported relatives, friends, honorable ill people, and poor people. She married off girls who worked in our home. Her lot was the same as all the Jews. She was murdered along with her granddaughter Chaya Rachele. Our brother, very young at the time, a lad with a good character and warm heart, had not yet experienced life. He survived during the war while serving in the Polish Army, but he was murdered along with all the Jews. Their memory will always remain holy in our hearts     Daughter Feigel Shamashonovitch, son Lipa Zeifman, Chicago, 1958.

In Memory of Yitzchak of Blessed Memory I was not a witness to your tragic fate, along with the fate of the Jews of my city, for I was far off from the tribulations of the war. However, your sons and daughters who went to slaughter were very well known to me. I cannot be silent and fail to memorialize the personalities, friends and acquaintances. Permit me at least to memorialize the soul of one of my advisors and friends. Apteczna 6, was a street like all Jewish streets. Its buildings more or less resemble each other, but not so with their residents. A slightly different mode of life was conducted in the home of Moshe Rosenberg of blessed memory. Yitzchak (Itchele) was only 18 when he already dedicated himself to the idea of education and actualization. There were always dozens of youth surrounding him on his way to and from work. When he crossed the street, he always offered an explanation, imparting Torah and knowledge. He did everything to inspire and impart the wisdom of Judaism. Your house was well known and a gathering place for the wise. There, meetings took place, ideas were hatched, and the Israeli representatives lodged. During the dark days of the war, you were not overcome by the psychology of fear. Even as the lion swallowed you, you maintained connections with the officials of the city council in order to obtain Aryan documents for our youth so that they could be saved. You were always toiling, and even in your youth, you suffered along with your people. May your memory be blessed forever By his friend Yehuda Kreitzer

My father Menachem Nachum Israel Hakohen Rabinovitch Born in Radomsk, Poland in 5632 (1872) to his father Moshe Aharon. He was a scion of the family of Admorim of Radomsk. He was an expert scholar, who studied Torah day and night. He would host guests in a dedicated fashion, and was the honorary president of the Chevra Kadisha (burial society) of Zawiercie. He gave up his pure soul with the words of “Shema Yisrael” on his lips, along with all the pure martyrs, after the liquidation of the Zawiercie Ghetto. My mother Zelda, the daughter of the shochet Reuven Zaks, was a modest woman. She built her household, which became a gathering place for the wise. My brother Leibush served after his marriage as the shochet of Miechow. My younger brother Shlomo was a Yeshiva student, a friend to every scholar. He was active in the Mizrachi movement. I had three sisters: Malka Zisel, Tauba Sheindel, and Sara-Sarale. Sarale was active in the Mizrachi movement. The Satanic Hitler, may his name be blotted out, wiped out all her dreams to build up and be built up in our Holy Land. I remain alone from the entire family, but I have merited to live in Israel, whereas they did not. The mourner: Gittel Levin

In Eternal Memory of Father: Aaron Shlomo Drezner, of blessed memory, born in Żarki in 1880 into a family of tradesmen and honest workers. He received a religious education. When he reached army age, he was drafted into the Russian army and served during the Russian-Japanese war for six years under inhuman conditions in Kavkaz and Siberia. Despite the difficult conditions, he maintained his stand and returned as a religious Jew, strong in spirit and firm in his faith. When he returned home from the army, he moved to the city of Zawiercie, where he lived until the last moment of the liquidation of the ghetto. He married Lea Erenfreid from the same town. She was his faithful wife until the last moment, when she was taken to Auschwitz. He was always a faithful communal worker throughout all the years. He served as a communal administrator, representing the handworkers' union on the communal council. He was a trustee (gabbai) of the Chevra Kadisha, and also ran the tailors' union in our city. He home served as a center of Torah and good deeds. Along with them perished: his sons Mendel and Yaakov, and his daughter Tova. The following remained alive, may they live long: His daughters Sara Ben-David and her family, Esther Frumer and her family – both in Israel Feigel and her family in the United States – all were saved from the camps in the Holocaust.

A Terebinth of Weeping It is difficult to lament in memory of those who are no longer with us Our dear parents: Moshele and Bluma Rothblum Sister: Esther Kuperberg and husband Yankel and children Sisters: Gittel and Chaya You were known in the city as Moshele Avraham Yitzchak's. You played an active role in the day to day activities of Linat Tzedek. You often spent the night with a sick person. You had your hand in all charitable activities. You were on the committee that extended Passover help to the needy. You were always involved in the day to day struggles of livelihood, but you always found free time and a great deal of energy to dedicate to voluntary causes. Then the Nazis murdered you along with the entire family. The wound cannot be healed. The heart cries out for revenge. The survivors: Ida and Shimon Feigenblatt and children, Freda and Nachum Drezner, Berel and Chana Rothblum and children
