scope and content: Izaak Danciger, a 25 years old shoemaker from Sierpc testifies about the breakout of the war and how it affected the Jewish Community. He depicts how the Nazis invaded and at the beginning were very kind. With the arriving of the Gestapo the situation for the Jews declined rapidly. Jews, especially pious Jews, were humiliated and severely tortured. He, among with other unmarried Jewish men, was forced to sign a declaration that he will leave the German territory and never come back or he shall be shot. Afterwards, the group was imprisoned and tortured and mistreated until there were eventually released and managed to go to the Red Army territory. In Vilnius, where he gave this testimony, he learned that his home town was declared"Judenrei" ( free of Jews) and that the Synagoge and other Jewish places were destroyed. Protocol No. 30 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. 30 -- פראטאקאל נומער 30
