scope and content: Testimony of S. L., a yeshiva student from Goworowo, who studied in yeshivas in Bialystok and Ostrow Mazowieck, b. April 28, 1918. He tells of how he returned to Goworowo to be with his parents the day before the war. When the Germans entered town they took upward of 500 young men, Jews and Poles, first to Ostrow Mazowiecki, and from there by train to Germany, to Hohenstein in Ostpreußen where the prisoners were put to work in a camp situated near the WWI memorial. He describes the difficult conditions in the camp, the lack of food and water while they were in transport, and the brutal shooting of people who could not work. He also describes discrimination between Jews and Poles, where Jews were forced to work more and, furthermore, were forced to work on Jewish holidays while the Poles were allowed rest. Protocol No. 200 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.
