In Memory of the Souls of the Martyrs

Yehoshua Fishelsohn ben Shimon
his wife, Nekha
their son, Chaim


He was the Chairman of the Judenrat when the Gestapo demanded of him that he turn over a specified number of Jews for labor. his reply was “I will not turn over even a single Jew until you return those Jews to us that you have received thus far.” For this, the evil Gestapo killed him and his family, and in this way he martyred himself among the many.

Dov ben Joseph Ephraim Burstein

He worked in a labor factory of the Nazis, and at the last minute, when the Gestapo took him out to be killed, he avenged his own blood, and killed two of the Gestapo, and afterwards killed himself, dying a hero's death.

May God Avenge his Blood, and May his Memory Be For a Blessing

A Memorial Stone for the daughter of Abraham'leh Hochman
Who hid themselves in a yard of Hrabia Zamoyska Deszkowice near the city of Szczebrzeszyn. The Nazis subsequently became aware of them, and shot them all.

After the war, Rachel'eh Bricks, my son-in-law's sister, became aware of this, and made a special trip to the village of Deszkowice and was informed by an elderly peasant as to what has taken place, and where they were buried.

They were all disinterred, and documents were found in their pockets. She was able to work out an arrangement to get permission to have all these martyrs buried in the cemetery of the city of Szczebrzeszyn.

To the Eternal Memory of the Holy and Pure Souls
Like the Brightness of the Firmament

The soul of my father, teacher and mentor
beloved among men, community activist, loyal to his missions
Rabbi & Hasid Shmuel ben R' Joseph HaLevi Meldung ע”ה
Who fled from the war to Rawa Ruska, and from there, went over to live in Ozerna near Tarnopol, and died there on 18 MarHeshvan 5701

Mrs. Golda Pearl bat R' Shammai Mordechai הי”ד

My sister, Mrs. Ray'li bat R' Shmuel HaLevi
Who died in her youth at the age of 33 years, in the year 5693 in Krasnobrod

Her respected husband, R' Yehoshua ben R' Pinchas HaLevi Glatter הי”ד
Who was one of the most prominent balebatim of Krasnobrod,
Gentle and of charitable disposition, who participated in carrying the burden of the community and in philanthropy.

Their unmarried daughters, Leah, and Miriam Gitt'l הי”ד

His second wife, my sister, Feiga Nesha bat R' Shmuel HaLevi הי”ד

My brother-in-law, R' Yehoshua Glatter and his family settled down together with my father and his family in the city of Ozerna. When the Germans captured the city, and appointed a Judenrat, they wanted to appoint his as the head, and he refused to participate in the work with the Germans. He therefore refused to accept the appointment with the excuse that he is a new resident who is not familiar with the residents of the town, and all the members of the Judenrat learned from his example and vacated the offices that had been imposed on them. The Germans shot them immediately and they fell to their death as martyrs. May their memories be for a blessing.

My brother Abraham Abba ben R' Shmuel HaLevi Meldung הי”ד

For the entire duration of the war, he was hiding out in a bunker that was near the city of Zlacow together with seventy other people. Four weeks before the liberation he went out to by medicines in urgency for one of his Jewish comrades who was laying in the bunker suffering from typhus. On his return, he was shot in the back by a Polish gentile, and while he was still writhing in his blood, he stripped him of his clothing and took his watch off his hand. הי”ד

Land – land, do not cover up their innocent blood, until such time that vengeance will return upon those who preyed on them, and that Judah and Israel will live in safety on both sides of the Jordan

Their son and brother, from whom their memory will not stir from his heart, forever

Shammai & his wife

Tom881.jpg

She died tragically in Sanctification of the Name on 15 MarHeshvan 5702. Murderous gentile hooligans beat her to death with staves, and buried her in a field not far from the Zamość Road. A Gentile from the city related this to her son Yaakov ע”ה, who, in 1946 on returning from Russia, risked his life and visited Tomaszow. For a good price, the gentile helped to find the location where she was buried. With great effort, he was able to transfer her remains to the cemetery and gave her a Jewish burial.

Intelligent, he was a leader of the Tomaszow Halutz Youth, worked at the Bank Ludowy as a bookkeeper. He helped to build up the library of the manual workers, and directed it without pay. He never missed going to the Bet HaMedrash every morning to pray. He was dedicated to God and to the community. He remained in Rawa [Ruska] in the hands of the Germans. He helped many people get Aryan papers, and by doing so, saved their lives. Many of them, today, are in New York. He was brought down in Sanctification of the Name.
