  • A refugee centre (Lutek Rotblatt was the director). The house at Dzika Street No 3 was huge, a couple of floors high. It is hard to describe the dirt and stench of the place. There was no air to breathe with. The enormous courtyard was full of sewage. The sewers must have got clogged. Thousands of refugees lived there on a very small space. (...) People in rags were lying on the stairs and in the corridors. You could hear people arguing in the flats.
