DescriptionFour-page testimony of Yitzak Hubermann documented by Jadwiga Sapera. The first six pages are missing but can be found in The Jewish Historical Institute, Warsaw. Hubermann was a Jewish partisan fighter who recalls the destruction of the Jewish community in his hometown Lodawa in Poland and records the landscape of partisan warfare waged in the forests of eastern Poland – western Ukraine. At the end he recalls in graphic detail the arrest and execution of an SS officer. After liberation he embarked, via a stopver in a Displaced Persons camp, to Israel to rebuild his life. He died a few years ago in Israel. This is the only Sapera testimony in our collection recorded in German.
Donated by Jadwiga Sapera, the documents are first hand eyewitness accounts of atrocities committed by the Nazis and their accomplices. The testimonies, or 'Protokols' were recorded in May, June and July of 1945 by Jadwiga. The Jewish Survivors appeared at a Refugee House in Bucharest, where they were enquiring if any of their families had survived. Jadwiga worked there as a typist.
