Their Last Voice
Letters and Testaments from the Jews in the Holocaust

I am still alive.  A carpenter, I lived in Warsaw in apartment 40 on 14 Krochmalna Street.  On 15.2.1944, I worked at 8 Chucinska Street.  I am still alive.  I don’t know if I will be tomorrow.

I write at a time when there are no longer any Jews in Warsaw.  I would like to see my beloved wife and my two beloved children, Wareczyk and Jurek.  I wonder if I will still see them.

These are terrible days for me.  I want to live, I feel the end coming.

Kalezyk

If anyone should find what I have written, publish it in a newspaper, so that my relatives - who may have survived - will know that at this time I was still alive.
