Był rok 1942, kiedy córeczka Zonszajnów miała roczek. Rodzice a little love, it was also the apple of his grandmother. However, all accompanied by anxiety and fear for Rachel, as the Germans began a campaign closing of the ghetto. They began to move, work was transferred to the Small Ghetto, whose area is constantly reduced. In Siedlce huge terror reigned. Most Poles are worried about their friends, acquaintances and neighbors in a closed ghetto.



Cypory log fragment, written in the ghetto, in hiding in the attic.


Irena not recall any anti-Semitic behavior from Siedlce Polish origin. Polish and Jewish communities complement each other, and needed. Poles were the customers of shops run by Jews, and Jewish children to go, as Tzipora, to Polish schools. Family Zawadzkich used the services of Jewish tailors, hairdresser Irene was also a Jew, and combed it in his private apartment. Yet there were also various infamous cases of anti-Semitism. Ms. Irena, for example, only recently became aware of one such story. A wealthy Pole, the owner of a bar and grocery, enjoyed high credibility among the Jews, who, when they stepped up repression by the Germans, entrusted him with their valuables and large sums of money. After a while one of the Jews came to collect his money, but the owner, rather than give them to him, called a policeman, what would be tantamount to issuing a death sentence on a Jew. In desperation, the Polish Jew shot and fled. That cop did the same, not wanting to interfere in the matter.

It was 1942 When the Zonszajns' daughter Rachela was one year old. Her parents loved her very much and she was her grandma’s most precious thing. Hovewer, all of them were scared about Rachelka – the Nazis began closing the Ghetto. Everybody in Siedlce was terrified. Most Poles were really worried about their Jewish friends and neighbours closed in the Ghetto.

Ms Irena doesn't remember any anti-Semitic behaviour on the part of the Siedlce residents of Polish origin. The Polish and the Jewish communities needed each other very much in a day – to – day life. Poles were the customers of shops run by Jews and Jewish children went (just like Cypora) to Polish schools. Irena’s family was a customer of Jewish tailors, Irena’s hairstylist was also Jewish. Despite this, there were some disgraceful cases of anti – Semitism. Irena only recently became aware of one such story. A wealthy Pole, the owner of a bar and a shop, enjoyed a high credibility among the Jews, who, along with the growing repressions from the Germans, started giving him their valuables and large sums of money. After some period of time, one of those Jews came back to take his money, but the owner rather than give it to him, called a policeman, which was a kind of the death sentence for that Jew. In the act of desperation, that Jew shot the Pole and Fleda. The same did the policeman, as he did not want to be a part of a dry case.
