Testimony of Isaac R,. 26 year old tannery worker from Warsaw. He was in Warsaw at the beginning of the war, the fire-warden for his building, and describes the emergency procedures take during the bombardment. He left Warsaw before the Germans entered it, making his way to check on his mother via Pulawy, Ryki, and Kazimierz Dolny, and then returning to Warsaw. He describes the damage inflicted by the German aerial bombardment, and says that in Pulawy the Germans were already seizing Jews for forced labour. In Pulawy, likewise, the Germans ruined the Jewish community financially by confiscating Jewish property and shops. Kazimierz Dolny remained unharmed by the bombardments but the Germans set fire to the town at night. Protocol No. 220 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.
