{"product_id":"kittever-memorial-book-9781954176478","title":"Kittever Memorial Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the dreadful summer months of the year 1942, when the German\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emass-murderers were each day shooting, burning and gassing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethousands of Polish Jews; in the fateful days - after the Yuden action\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein Kittev - when I myself wasn't sure about the next day, I resolved\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat as long as I still lived, to record the appalling events. I began to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewrite the record, the daily events and experiences of Kittev and the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esurrounding cities and towns, according to the authentic reports we\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereceived from those places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the main reasons that moved me to record all these bloody\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eevents was my then naïve belief that the great democratic world had\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eno idea of what was happening, because if they did know what the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGermans were doing, they would surely employ all means to stop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe horrible destruction-work of the Nazis, their murderous actions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eagainst the innocent Jews. All Polish Jews shared this belief, as did the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJews of our city, Kittev.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince nobody believed that any Jew could be saved from the bloody\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etalons of the Nazi evil beast and the Ukrainian murderers, that he\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emight be able, after the war, to appear as a living witness and accuse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe mass-murderers before the world tribunal, I resolved to make my\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emodest contribution to the history of the German murder-actions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat they should not be forgotten. I employed every free minute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand wrote down every day what we experienced until the complete\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edestruction of Kittev and her Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEisig Husen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApril 10, 1958\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jewishgen.Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50393780125970,"sku":"9781954176478","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_fc7669c4-11d9-4e25-9c1b-14b71338fd9c.jpg?v=1728994030","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/kittever-memorial-book-9781954176478","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
