1 electronic resource (3 pages) 

Testimony of David M., a 24 year old journalist from Brok. He tells how on Saturday, September 9, Brok was lit on fire by the Germans who poured gasoline on the houses and burned down 110 Jewish homes. That same night the Germans shot or stabbed 38 Jews. They ordered all Jews to gather in the church, and shot anyone who remained outside, or did not go fast enough. The Jews were deported to the detainee-camp at Ostrow Mazowiecka where they were put to work without food for three days. Eventually they were freed, and most of the Jewish population of Brok left for Zambrow. Protocol No. 114 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.
