In wrath and sorrow we shall remember the pure and holy souls of our brothers and sisters who fell at the hands of the corrupt murderers devoid of God's image. We shall remember the humble Jews and the highly cultured ones, glory of the people, the old and the young, the honest and dear ones, the righteous and the charitable, the magnanimous and the faithful.
We shall remember the dreams, the hopes and
aspirations, the high ideals, love for the people of
We shall remember the synagogues and the houses of learning, the Institutes for charity and good deeds, the schools and the libraries, all the Zionist and Educational Organizations for the benefit of the people. We shall remember all those who were destroyed and annihilated and wiped out by the insane and thoroughly corrupt enemy, we shall remember - We shall not forget!

In this book we did our best to tell the story of our city and our loved ones, but we could not, despite our best intentions, tell the story of all of them; our tongue is not rich enough and our strength ebbed away.
We cannot, for certain place tombstones on our martyrs graves, the victims of the holocaust and so we decided to make a list of our people who died during the holocaust, in our town in the “kolonia”, heidmilla and the death camps - Chelmno, Auschwiz and in ghettoes and camps. We talked to many of our townspeople to update the list but we are not sure that despite all our best efforts, some names had been omitted. If that is the case than “A good thought, the lord makes into a deed”.
Let the list of our martyrs with the names of those we know of and those we do not, be a monument and a “Yad Vashem” as it is written in Yeshayah (56; 5) “Even unto them will I give in mine house and withinmy walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters;I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off"
