The Disaster of Wyszkow - Bulletin No. 4
1 electronic resource (17 pages)
This bulletin was intended to publish the work of the Committee for collecting material about the destruction of the Jews in Poland, describing the destruction of the town of Wyszków. It describes the aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of the city, which resulted in many casualties that could not due to the strength of the shelling be buried. When the Germans entered the city they shot and killed many of the wounded. The bulletin lists numerous names of victims. The victims were buried in mass graves. The Germans occupied the city, arrested refugees attempting to leave and burned torah-scrolls from Jewish synagogues. Most of the Jewish part of town was eventually destroyed and many more victims dead. Bulletin No. 4 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.
