Testimony of Shmuel Grossbard, 19 year old yeshiva student from Suwałki. He describes aerial bombardment and German planes flying over the city, and fire from the Polish military, as well as panic among the civilian population. The Germans entered the city the following day, and several of the neighboring cities that same day, but did no special harm. Here the testimony cuts off. Protocol No. 21 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.
