- Notes
- He was husband of Reizl Prepelicka's sister. [Transport Częstochowa-Treblinka started September 26, 1942] "[In Treblinka workers] they killed themselves. Hanged themselves with their... whatever they could get on them to strangle themselves. Even my brother-in-law did the same. He married a sister of my wife, a highly educated man. He was the leader of the Socialist Party - Bund in Poland. He was a leader from that. He hanged himself." "Before long, people in the ghetto were reading letters from Hersz-Mendel Wilinger and [Mojsze] Lubling, which they had sent over from Treblinka to Częstochowa via a Polish train conductor, regarding the suicide of their comrade and co-worker Szymszel Jakubowicz and the actual fate of all the Jews being sent to Treblinka. They urged us to do everything to make the world aware of what was happening there to the Jews." "He committed suicide in Treblinka on 30th September 1942."
