- Notes
- "The German bandits eliminated my entire family: my good, quiet father, Tuviale, my faithful, observant mother, Chana–Tzime, my devoted sister, Rachele, her husband, Nachum, their three children: Ite, Leah and Tzirele, and the good, Shlomole, who went together with his grandfather to Treblinka. From my Kozienice family, there remained only my brother, Yaakov and myself, who saved ourselves in Russia."
