We Remember

dub075.jpg

 

Introduction translated by Shalom Bronstein

We remember our brothers and sisters who were murdered, may God avenge their blood, the holy martyrs of Dubiecko and its surrounding towns; the young and elderly, its men, women and infants, who were tortured to death by the greatest enemies of the Jewish people of all times and who were not even given a Jewish burial.

We remember all the Jews of our town and the surrounding area along with all the holy martyrs of the House of Israel in Poland and Europe, their vibrant lives, their multi-faceted activities, their scholars and artists, merchants and intellectuals who sustained the glow of Jewish life in exile and who raised Zion above their highest joys.

This book will be for them an everlasting memorial, an eternal tombstone on their unmarked graves, a remembrance to the end of time.

These are the names of the holy ones of Dubiecko and its surrounding towns who were murdered and slaughtered during World War II, listed alphabetically.

In memoriam
(Written in English)

I, Pearl Lipson, was born in Dubiecko, Poland. My parents Hena and Jacob Rubinfeld had five children, four daughters and one son. The son, Hershel, was the youngest and passed away as a child of three before the war.

When the war broke out, Russia and Germany divided Poland between them with Dubiecko being on the dividing line, but under German control. The Germans gave the Jews a few hours to get out of the town and go to the Russian side. Father was originally from the Russian side, from a little town called Bircha and his parents, sisters and brothers with their families still lived there. Naturally, we went to them and stayed there until sometime in 1940.

One Friday evening the Russians went to every Jewish home, collected al the Jews and shipped us to Siberia via train. We went as far as Irkutsk by train, and from there we went by ship and river barges, then on foot (with whatever baggage we had left carried by donkeys) to a log cabin in the wilds of Tiga. The cabin consisted of a small entrance way leading to three small rooms, one for each family. The extreme cold necessitated the cabin being heated day and night, all that was available for heating was one wood–burning stove located in the entrance way.

Work was assigned to everyone, and father's task was to cut trees in the forest. He had to do this regardless of weather conditions. Not surprisingly, he suffered a heart attack as a result, and after months of suffering it was a miracle that he slowly recovered.

In 1941, we were permitted to leave the camp, so we left and travelled by barges again and, eventually found ourselves at the town called Vitim. The winter's approaching intolerable cold and the fact that Rivka, the second youngest sister, became very ill forced us to stay there through the entire winter. As it turned out, we were the only Jewish family in the place.

In 1942, the second sister, Sara, became ill and we took her to the hospital. After only a few days she passes away on Tevet 15. This, plus the fact that Rivka wasn't improving' made us to decide to travel to a place where we could be among other Jews, so in the summer we left and arrived at Kirensk, where we decided to stay because there were a few Russians, Jewish families living there.

It was now 1943, and the strain of family illnesses and problems proved too much for my mother. She became ill, was taken to the hospital where on 17 Tamuz, she passed away. During all of time father was working as a night watchman, which enabled him to look after the family during the day. One morning, after he returned from work, I went to the hospital to see my mother and to my horror I found her head covered. I removed the cover and found that she was dead. I ran home in a state of shock to tell my father what had happened.

Once again, circumstances forced us to leave and after three months of traveling we found ourselves in Samarkand. We put the youngest sister, Helen, in a children's home. At least she would have a better chance than the rest of us.

We stayed in Samarkand until the end of the war – about three years. As soon as the war ended, the Russians offered to return all the displace polish citizens to Poland. Occupants of children's' homes were to go first, and we decided to let Helen go since it was by no means certain that we would all get to follow, and we felt that at least one of us should have a better chance of life. As I turned out, we were repatriated shortly after Helen left.

As soon as we arrived back in Poland, we started to look for Helen. It was not yet safe for Jews to travel, so father and I decided that I should go and look for Helen, since he was instantly identifiable as a Jew. I went to Lodz and searched all those children's homes that contained returnees from the USSR. By sheer luck I met two friends of Helen who told me approximately where to look for her. Eventually, I found her and brought her back to father.

We traced relatives in Winnipeg, Canada – father's cousins, Moshe and Frieda Rubinfeld – who sent us papers to immigrate to Canada. We lived in Winnipeg until 1953, when we moved to Toronto. Father passed away on Adar 28, 1987.
