Our sincere appreciation to Sam Brandes, USA and Zelig Spierer, Israel,
We wish to thank Karen Rosenthal and her father, David C. Rothaus, for their contribution to the translation
of considerable portions of the yizkor book in memory of their uncles Mottel, Herzl, and Kus Rathaus,
who were born raised, and murdered by the Nazis in Mikulince.
Ironically, none of them are mentioned in the List of Martyrs.
