scope and content: Testimony of J. K. a 30 year old trader from Przemyśl who returned there from Warsaw at the beginning of October. He describes how the city was initially taken over by the Germans who bombarded it; many people were left homeless. During the first days of the German occupation all Jewish stores were looted, with the Germans recording a film claiming the Christian population of the city looted them. Additionally, the author describes mass arrests of the Jewish intelligentsia of the city, and their mass execution. The Jews were required to pay large sums to free the arrestees but received only bodies in return. Przemyśl remains occupied partially by the Russians, with the west occupied by German forces. Protocol No. 61 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.
