Hello,

I'm seeking a full translation of these two Yiddish newspaper paragraphs about the arrival and death in Treblinka of Josef Lewartowski, a leader of the resistance in the Warsaw ghetto.

Thanks in advance for your help.

And even on his last way Yoseph stays true to the idea and to himself. Friday the fifth of September, Levartovski arrives to the Death-Lager. Getting there he knew that also in this dreadful Treblinka is a well conspired Anti fascist organization. He, the leader, knows a few friend that do the holy work here in the Treblinka Lager. The friend are doing everything that Yoseph, although he is a little disabled, should not be sent to "the oven". Yoseph stays with the ones condemned to life. The same Friday he makes contact with the underground Anti-Fascist group. A new spirit goes into the hearts of the Chaverim (friends). In two days, on Sunday, they have to meet again and continue the fight.

All these experiences left a mark on Yoseph's health. He arrive in Treblinka barely alive. He is totally exhausted. Sunday the seventh of September came the end. This relentless fighter caught a heart attack that bought him a quick release.
The Chaveirim didn't confer with him anymore.
