Perl Kirshzweig, a tailor from Warsaw describes how refugees from Łódź arrived in Warsaw and were hosted by locals, like her. Several shell fired hurt a lot of people and among them also Jews, who were treated kindly in the hospital until it was bombed, too. The situation in Warsaw rapidly declined and there was no water, electricity or food and the hospitals were extremely dirty. Jews, who wanted to take the Bus to the hospital in Łódź were forced out of their seats and their tickets sold to polish Christians. In contrast to that, Kirshzweig testifies about acts of kindness from german soldiers towards Jews. Protocol No. 17 is an extract from a volume of protocols /statements provided by a group of Polish-Jewish refugee writers and journalists who fled to Vilnius, Lithuania. In 1939 they formed a committee to collect evidence on the condition of the Jews in Poland under Nazi occupation. Protocol No.17 -- פראטאקאל נומער 17
