[Testimonies given in Vilnius by Jewish refugees from German occupied Poland]

Testimony of a rabbi from a town in Galicia, b. 1910. He tells of the entry of the Germans into his city. At first they seemed well-intentioned, but soon started taking Jews, including women and girls, for forced hard labor. Jewish shops were robbed while Christian shops and businesses were untouched. The rabbi received a summons from the city military governor, and was ordered that the city must be free of Jews within several hours; any Jew remaining in the city will be shot. The soldiers drove the Jews out of their homes toward the Russian border and photographed the struggling crowd. The rabbi made his way to Przemyśl where 600 of the town's most important Jews, doctors, lawyers, rabbis, were taken out and shot. In Dunayev, 200 jews were killed by the Germans. . Protocol No. 33 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 under Nazi occupation.
