Kittever Memorial Book

In the dreadful summer months of the year 1942, when the German mass-murderers were each day shooting, burning and gassing thousands of Polish Jews; in the fateful days - after the Yuden action in Kittev - when I myself wasn't sure about the next day, I resolved that as long as I still lived, to record the appalling events. I began to write the record, the daily events and experiences of Kittev and the surrounding cities and towns, according to the authentic reports we received from those places. One of the main reasons that moved me to record all these bloody events was my then naïve belief that the great democratic world had no idea of what was happening, because if they did know what the Germans were doing, they would surely employ all means to stop the horrible destruction-work of the Nazis, their murderous actions against the innocent Jews. All Polish Jews shared this belief, as did the Jews of our city, Kittev. Since nobody believed that any Jew could be saved from the bloody talons of the Nazi evil beast and the Ukrainian murderers, that he might be able, after the war, to appear as a living witness and accuse the mass-murderers before the world tribunal, I resolved to make my modest contribution to the history of the German murder-actions that they should not be forgotten. I employed every free minute and wrote down every day what we experienced until the complete destruction of Kittev and her Jews. Eisig Husen April 10, 1958
