In Eternal Memory   My sister Chanaleh My mother Chaya-Golda My father Baruch Nudel   We will forever remember the curtailed lives of my father, mother, and sister, whose sacred memory we hold dear. They were beautiful, luminous figures. With weeping heart, I recall their honesty and kindness, and the profound faith they inherited from their parents and grandparents. My father's father, who was known as Hershl, Eli's son, was one of the older Kuzmir Hasids. He had been able to visit Avraham, the great Maggid of Trisk. Older Hasids in Grabowiecz recalled his great love for and faith in the Trisk Maggid, whose slightest word was a command. The Maggid's preaching and the Hasidic melodies compensated him for all his work. His heart was always full of faith. In my memory, these beliefs, faith, and great decency connect our home with unforgettable experiences. May this mention in our Memorial Book be a symbolic monument over their unknown graves. Eliyahu Nudel

Eulogy by Leibush Glomb Commemorating nine shining figures, nine among many other martyrs, whom we mourn constantly, and whom I mention in particular, because my life was intimately linked with theirs; their daily lives and behavior were a model, and any mention of their names fills me with awe and trembling. Pinchas Glomb – His zeal for study was endless. Always immersed in an open volume of Talmud or other sacred book, his impoverished circumstances did not prevent him from constantly studying hallowed texts and fulfilling sacred commandments. Leibush Singer – He was related by marriage to the leader of Kuzmir Hasidism, and owned the finest house in Grabowiec. Whenever the Kuzmir Rabbi came to town, he stayed in Leibush's house, and his followers came in from the surrounding towns as well. His house was a center of learning, wisdom, and Hasidism. Chayim Yonah Glomb – The embodiment of honesty and justice, he was always involved in helping the needy, and did so in secrecy so as not to embarrass the recipients. He was modest, patient, charitable, and generous. If he happened to meet a debtor who hadn't cleared the debt, he would cross the street so as not to shame the other in public. On the dark day before the German forces marched into town, he went down to the basement of his leather-goods business, holding a candle. The flammable material in the basement quickly ignited, and the righteous Jew, who was probably thinking of ways to help his fellow townspeople at that difficult time, was unable to save himself. He died in the fire. His family was later murdered by the Nazi killers. His daughter, Sheindl Glomb-Briks, is the only survivor from the entire

family. She now lives in New York. Yosef Bornstein – One of the most important Radzin Hasids in town. He studied and prayed day and night, constantly humming a melody in his mellifluous voice. Baruch Kutscher – A Kuzmir Hasid who was active in the community, always generous with charity. Yitzchak Lerner – He ran an egg-exporting business. A member of the Belz Hasids, he was one of the major figures, influential in the community, and compassionate toward everyone. Chayim Brandel – A Kuzmir Hasid of the highest spiritual level, yet extremely modest. He was one of the most respected people in town, in the traditional term. Elkana Kahan – A property owner in the tradition of Polish Jews, he was extremely learned as well as an enthusiastic Hasid who could transport the devout members of the Husiatyn Hasid's synagogue, where he led prayers. I can still hear his melodious voice, tones that attracted young and old. He encouraged others to study Torah, was always willing to give advice, and was often selected as an arbiter in delicate matters. Shaulkeh Wald – one of the most diligent scholars in town, a Husiatyn Hasid who studied with the 'Or Ha-Chayim' group. He was an honest, beloved person who radiated Jewish wisdom and fine traits in his relationship with God and with other people. * Let us remember them with respect and piety, and cherish their sacred figures and honorable lives, which were so gruesomely cut off.

Yehuda Eshkol And my heart is on the verge of tears   The son of Avraham and Tzipora Eshkol-Krukshtendl, born in Kibbutz Ein HaCarmel in 1942, he commanded a company in Jerusalem, was killed on Ammunition Hill on June 6, 1967, and buried in the Mt. Herzl military cemetery, Jerusalem. “Captain Yehuda Eshkol was a fine commander, brave and daring… We proudly bear his sacred memory.” He was killed while fulfilling the biblical promise to the ancestors concerning Jerusalem. (From a letter by Defense Minister Major-General Moshe Dayan)

Yaakov Kreitman “My tears have been my food day and night”   He was drafted into the U. S. Army and fought the Viet Cong in Vietnam, where he was killed. “When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness…My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep” (Job 30)

We recently lost two Grabowiec natives, Yosef Gofer and Baruch Eynes (of blessed memory). Both were models of the successful integration of Jewish and European culture, who were fervent Zionists as early as their youthful years, and were motivated by the desire to help, repair, build, learn, and teach. Yosef Gofer-Goldfarb was deeply involved in the realization of the Zionist dream, ready to take on tasks, regardless of personal cost. The vision of publishing this Memorial Book was dear to him, but he did not survive to see it a reality. Baruch Eynes was a rare personality among the Grabowiec natives living in Israel; commemorating his life is an honor. We have lost a gracious, modest man, a teacher and educator who was able to defend his principles and positions vigorously. We mourn those who are gone and are no longer with us.
