  • Jews' Diaries. Sygn. 302/144; Jewish Historical Institute Archives; The author was a barrister. He wrote his memoirs in summer 1944 while hiding in Praga. His short testimony of occupation experience is published in W. Bartoszewski's and Z. Lewinowna's book 'Ten jest z ojczyzny mojej' (This One is From My Homeland). Published in: 'Pamietniki z getta warszawskiego', Warszawa 1993, p. 27-29, 40-41, 48-49, 90-93. The author wrote in his diary about the lot of Warsaw Jews during the German occupation. Confiscations of property. Resettlements to the ghetto. Living conditions in the ghetto: hunger, epidemic of typhus; round-ups for the slave labour. Critical assessment of the Judenrat and Jewish Police. Murders committed by Germans. The beginning of the liquidation action in summer 1942. The author wrote that he didn't have enough information, because the material concerning Jewish population of Warsaw during the war is enormous and he is unable to systematise and remember it (even what he eye witnessed). In his descriptions he usually gave a holistic image, he didn't go into details. In the end of the diary he mentions a few detailed events.
