Mourning notice from the communal council (in Hebrew and Polish)
regarding the murder of Fishel Feldon on June 1, 1925
{The text of the notice is as follows (line breaks are not exact, due to word order differences in English and Hebrew):
The Hebrew Community Council of Zgierz / expresses from the depths of its heart /
the heavy mourning / over what happened in our town, that suddenly /
a complete family from amongst our people was killed and slaughtered, in a /
very cruel fashion, that had not occurred in such a manner from the time of the founding of our town /
that the lives of five people should be cut off and exterminated / for no fault or sin of their own. /
Alas! How great is this terrible tragedy! / Oh Land, Oh Land! Do not hide the blood that was spilled in this place /
until the blood of those murdered / to the sorrow of our hearts and pain of our souls is avenged. /
On Tuesday, the following were murdered. They were brought to their eternal rest /
on Wednesday the 25th of Sivan, 5685. / Efraim Fishel the son of Yosef Feldon, 70 years old. /
His wife Esther Malka Feldon, 68 years old. / Feldon, 20 years old. / Avraham, 10 years old.}
