The history of the Jews in the town of Wąchock is extremely complicated. This stems from the fact that the Jews of Wąchock belonged to various kehillot, as they were unable to establish their own kehilla and then to maintain it. The first Jews settled in the town in the 1780s. In 1787, there were two Jews living in Wąchock.
At the time of the Partitions, Wąchock was under Austrian rule. As the town was Cistercian property, there were quotas introduced and confiscations carried out. The victims of the new regulations were Marianna and Adam Michalski, a Jewish married couple, whose plant and a metallurgical furnace which they leased in Marcinkowo, with the consent of Abbot Józef Szaniawski, a canon of Krakow and the bishop of Chełmno, were confiscated[1.1].
The Jews living in Wąchock first belonged to the kehilla of Szydłowiec, and then – the kehilla of Iłża. It was only in 1860 that an attempt was made to establish the kehilla of Wąchock. There were plans to legalize the already existing house of prayer. It was a small wooden building. Unfortunately, the plans came to nothing, as the Jews did not manage to obtain permits. Moreover, at the initiative of the mayor of Wąchock, the house of prayer was closed down. The Jews were only allowed to open it on some Jewish festivals.
In 1908, another attempt to establish the kehilla was made. The Jewish community had its own rabbi, and the house of prayer was functioning again. They also had their own cemetery since 1911. It was only on August 12, 1911 that the kehilla was formally established in Wąchock. It was separated from the synagogue district of Iłża. Being probably quite poor, the Jews of Wąchock found it hard to support their own kehilla.
Therefore, in the years 1926-1929, the Jews applied to the administrative authorities for their community to be incorporated into the Wierzbnik (Starachowice) kehilla[1.2]. Apparently, the Jews of Wąchock did not want to be part of the poor kehilla of Iłża, which faced financial difficulties at that time. The kehilla of Wierzbnik, in turn, was considered to be the richest in the whole area.
That must have been the reason why the Jews of Wąchock undertook to get separated from the Iłża kehilla while at the same time attempting to join the Wierzbnik synagogue district. Being poor, they did not intend to maintain their own kehilla in Wachock. A breakthrough year in this respect was 1929, when they were included in the budget of Iłża for the last time, and 1930, when they were first entered in the list of fees in the Wierzbnik Jewish community.
Two other settlements that separated from the Iłża kehilla along with Wąchock, were the village of Wielka Wieś and the town of Skarżysko-Kamienna[1.3].
In the interwar period, the Jews living in Wąchock owned a square where a brick synagogue was located, a brick mikvah, a cemetery and a ritual slaughter house, the income of which was 4600 zlotys in 1925, a 5500 – in 1928[1.4]. In 1930, Józef Rzeźnik, a member of the community, was appointed to administer the ritual slaughter in Wąchock.
Animals | Number of animals slaughtered | Price per head (zlotys) | Total |
Cows | 148 | 6 | 888 |
Calves, sheep, goats | 320 | 2,50 | 800 |

Asbestos is a naturally occuring fibrous mineral that was a popular building material from the 1950s to 1990s. It was used extensively because it is an insulator, has good fire protection properties, has tensile strength, and is resistant to chemical erosion. (Source: WorkSafe BC)
Asbestos poses health risks when fibres are in the air that people breathe. Asbestos fibres lodge in the lungs, causing scarring that can ultimately lead to severely impaired lung function (asbestosis) and cancers of the lungs or lung cavity.
Exposure to asbestos can happen when asbestos-containing material (ACM) breaks down or when it is cut or damaged. People can put themselves at risk, often without realizing it, if they do not take proper precautions when repairs or renovations disturb ACM. (Source: adapted from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)

This page introducues the availability of CEF soldiers' service records at Library and Archives Canada (LAC). Beginning in late 2013, LAC has started to place groups of files out of circulation as they start to digitize all of these records.
Digitization of Canadian Expeditionary Force Service Files
"LAC, with the support of Public Works and Government Services Canada, will undertake the digitization of about 640,000 service files of members of the CEF (some members having two or more files in their name due to changes in their status) to complement the more than 620,000 attestation papers and the approximately 13,500 service files already available on LAC's Soldiers of the First World War Web page.
"As of March, 2014, LAC will be required to temporarily close portions of this collection. To allow us to perform a number of complex and delicate tasks to ensure the digitization of the collection, the files will be digitized alphabetically by CEF members' last names. The first quarter, beginning with the letter A through D, will be closed as of March 2014 and will be available on-line as of Summer 2014.
"While 75% of the collections will always be open, LAC will not be able to accept requests to consult documents in person, nor take orders for copies for a period of up to 4 months on the portion of the collection being digitized."
Canadian soldiers' service records for the First World War are held by the Library and Archives Canada (LAC). For researching soldiers of the First World War, the place to start is the Soldiers of the First World War (1914-1918) database.
The introduction page at the Library and Archives Canada Soldiers of the First World War (1914-1918) database.
Using the search form, look for your soldier by name. Unique or rare combinations of surname and given names will be rather easy to find in the database, for example, there's only one man named "Gladiator." For more common names a little more effort may be required, in contrast to the lone Gladiator there are 6955 entries for the surname "Smith" and 676 of those have the given name "John." Use full given names to search when known, or use initials with an asterisk "J*" if the initial is known but it is not certain what the given name is, or how it might have been entered on the soldier's Attestation Papers (ex. "J*" for John, Jean, Jack).
The search form at the Library and Archives Canada Soldiers of the First World War (1914-1918) database.
As you can see in the results table below, your search can be much assisted if you know the soldier's service number and given names. The service number can be found on any surviving documents you might have, such as a discharge certificate, or it can be found on the back or bottom edge of his medals if you have them.
An example of results returned when searching on a surname (Silcox).
If your name search still leaves you will multiple possibilities, and you don't have a service number, all is not lost. When you have a "short list" of possibilities, such as men all with the same given names, try to narrow your choices by the birthdate. Note that those without a service number listed were officers, although officers who also served as soldiers before their commissioning will often be shown with a service number in the LAC database record. One further method to distinguish between similarly named individuals is to go to each record and look at the linked Attestation Paper. the front of the paper will include next of kin, place of birth, and home town at the time of enrolment. It should be possible to match any or all of these details to previously known family history and confirm the appropriate record.
If your attempts to narrow the field are still frustrated, consider the following possibilities:
Hopefully with few problems, you will quickly be led to the correct LAC database record for you ancestor.
An example of an individual rerecord in the Library and Archives Canada Soldiers of the First World War (1914-1918) database.
The record will provide links to scans of the soldier's Attestation Paper. About 90% of the soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force have their attestation papers on line. The remainder simply weren't among the mass files of Attestation Papers that were scanned when the database was built, but copies will be in the individual service record files.
The Attestation Paper will probably provide you first lok at new information on your ancestor. There are two different documents linked with records. Most will have the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force Attestation Paper (example). Others, conscripts, will have a single-sided form showing that they were Drafted Under [the] Military Service Act, 1917 - Particulars of Recruit (example).
The individual record page on the LAC database will also provide a link to instructions for ordering the soldier's service record. These instructions are reproduced below:
Most of the attestation papers have been digitized and appear online in the database.
The service files are paper originals. Beginning in May 2010, Library and Archives Canada has started to add digitized copies of the files to the database to make them more accessible, to help preserve the originals and to avoid copying the same file more than once.
For files not yet digitized, you can order photocopies or scanned images. The cost is the same. When a photocopy or digital copy is requested, the complete file will be scanned and the digital images will be added to the database the next time it is reloaded. In this way, all Canadians can help contribute to the preservation of our country's military heritage.
Due to the large volume of inquiries we receive, we are unable to provide a service for selecting and copying specific documents from within a file; we only provide copies of complete file. As well, the documents are not paginated and we cannot undertake page counts of files prior to ordering. However, most Canadian Expeditionary Force service files contain an average of 25 to 75 pages, with those for personnel who were drafted or enlisted later in the war typically having smaller files. They are open to the public without access restrictions.
How to order copies
See: Price List and Service Standards - Photocopy
• To obtain the students or seniors citizens (65 years of age and over) reduced rates, you must send a photocopy of your ID card with your written request or present your ID card to the staff when placing your request in-person.
Orders can be placed using our secure online Order Form for Photocopies and Reproductions, or by mail or fax. Please include your credit card number and the expiry date.
Reproduction Services
Library and Archives Canada
395 Wellington Street
Ottawa, ON K1A 0N4
Fax: 613-995-6274
• We do not accept orders for copies by email as we cannot guarantee security for your credit card information. However, our online Order Form for Photocopies and Reproductions is secure.
Cite the full archival reference as it appears in the database.
Regimental number: 328870 (or rank if the individual was an officer)
Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 1965-1
If you are having problems identifying the correct file, please consult this section.
In brief, files will cost 40 cents per page plus postage and each file may be between 25 and 75 (on average). Once the LAC has your order, either by letter, facsimile or through their on-line ordering system, it can take four to six weeks to receive the records. (This time can increase if they are backlogged, as they can be around Remembrance Day or other times when people's interest in researching their soldiers ancestors is piqued. Ordering a digital copy may reduce your wait time.
One final point for your consideration. It may be recommended that you request "only" a genealogical package which will focus on record of service documents. Having handled a number of service records I would caution against this choice. Although many of the documents omitted in the genealogical package will be of little value, others may (and I stress may) hold clues for further research. Details on medical documents or a next-of-kin's address on a pay ledger may be a valuable clue for further family research.
The next step, exploring the service record, will have to wait until you have the service record in hand, but please, read on.

is a large Byelorrusian city which is now part of Grodno province. The word "Slonim" itself apparently stems from "Slenis" or "Slenumas," meaning lowland. Slonim actually lies in a valley and is surrounded by rolling hills of varying heights. As early as the 12th century there was a princely court. In the 14th century the area was ruled by Lithuanian Prince Gedimin, and Slonim was incorporated into his domain. It was around that time that Jews began settling in the area, although the Jewish community there was not established until the 16th century.
Slonim had a Jewish Quarter - the old courtyard with the Great Synagogue in the center, a baroque building that went back to 1642. The famous large synagogue was considered the most beautiful house of worship in the Lithuanian duchy.
The synagogue was encircled by a dozen Study Houses with names like "The Building," "The Shoemakers Synagogue," "The Tailors Synagogue," "The Lubavitcher Shtiebl," and a few others. Near the Great Synagogue sprawled the "Old Marketplace," full of butcher shops, herring stalls, flour stores, and the workshops of various Jewish craftsmen.
You could see Jewish women with big baskets on their shoulders, porters, coachmen, peasants, buyers, and sellers. There was a little street called "Rubinovski's" that led from the old marketplace to the new marketplace, which again was lined with Jewish stores, workshops, inns and taverns. And wherever you looked you saw friendly Jews, always busy and absorbed and in the pursuit of earning a livelihood.
Directly outside the synagogue courtyard, between the Tailors Synagogue and the Slaughterhouse, the street led uphill to "The Mountain," a densely populated working-class neighborhood where in a dozen crooked, narrow little street the Jewish poor huddled together in their crowded little homes.
In the low-lying streets along the banks of the Szeczara River and the canal there was more Jewish poverty and overcrowding. Between the Szcara and the canal, on an elongated island, there were two streets, Balione and Zhabinke, and two more synagogues. A third synagogue was located on Breger Street. There was also Ruzany Street with its Jewish cemetery.
Exotic and fascinating was the Hassidic court on Skorbibve Street. In the center of the yard was the shtiebl, from which came a constant stream of fervent melodies. Melodies that made the Slonim Hasidic dynasty famous far beyond. Their very Rebbe was beloved and respected by the rapturous and ecstatic Hasidim of Slonim.
Slonim Jews were credited with the development of commerce in the 15th century. In the second half of that century, under King Kasimir the Fourth of greater Poland Lithuania, Jews enjoyed full rights and privileges. In 1495 the Lithuanian duchy decreed the expulsion of all Jews from Lithuanian duchy including Slonim. The decree remained in effect for eight years. In 1503 it was nullified and Slonim Jews returned to their homes and reclaimed their properties. The Jewish population in the 16th century rose to 400, or 15 percent of the total population. In 1569 Lithuania was annexed by Poland and the immigration of Polish Jews to Slonim increased. In 1660 The Jews suffered persecutions by the armies of Stephan Czarniecki.
Early in the 17th century, Slonim hired its first rabbi, Moshe Lima, who later served as rabbi of Bresk and Vilna. While in Slonim, Rabbi Lima was considered to be the highest authority on Halacha (Jewish law) in Lithuania. The Jewish population reached 1200 by the middle of the 17th century and 1400 by 1797.
Rabbi Moses Ben Isaac Judah Lima (?1605-1658), studied in the yeshiva of Joshua Falk in Cracow, where he became friendly with many who later were leaders of the generation. At the age of 32 in 1637 he served as rabbi of Slonim and in 1650 was av bet din of Vilna, his colleagues being Ephraim b. Jacob ha-Kohen and Shabbetai Ben Meir Ha-Kohen (1621-1662) author of the Sifrei Kohen on the Shulhan Arukh, Yoreh De'ah. In 1655 he was appointed rabbi where he served until his death. One of his three sons, Raphael, published his father's work Helkat Mehokek (Cracow, 1670), a commentary on the Shulhan Arukh. Even ha-Ezer, outstanding for its critical perceptiveness and profundity and acknowledged as one of the best halakhic works of the later generations. It was accepted as an authoritative work in its field, despite its difficult style, which at time makes a super-commentary necessary. The Beit Shemuel of Samuel b. Uri Shraga Phoebus is devoted largely to a discussion of Liman's book. For the benefit of rabbis and posekim Lima and Samuel complied Kunteres ha-Agunot appended to chapter 17 of Even ha-Ezer containing the essence of hundreds of books and responsa concerning the permission of agunot to remarry. Of Lima'a other works, there remain only a number of responsa in various collections.
There were other spiritual leaders of Slonim, including Joshua Isaac Ben Jehiel Shapira, (d.1873), rabbi and Talmudist. Known as Eizel Harif ("sharp") because he was one of the keenest intellects and most outstanding pilpulists of his day, he was av bet din successively at Kalvarija, Kutno, Tiktin, and finally Slonim. His work Nahalat Yehoshu'a was a response on several halakhot and various subjects in the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds. Shapira was one of the few scholars in his generation who attached as much value to the Jerusalem Talmud as to the Babylonian, a fact amply reflected in his commentaries.
In the mid-19th century, R. Abraham b. Isaac Weinberg (1804-1884) founded a new branch of Hasidism and became the first of the Slonim dynasty. The Slonim yeshivah was one of the oldest and most honored Lithuanian yeshivot, and came under the trend of Hasidism.
R. Abraham Ben Issac Mattathias Weinbergs' teachers in Hasidism were the zaddikim Noah of Lachowicze (Lyakhovichi) and Moses of Kobrin. When Moses died, Abraham assumed the role of zaddik and became one of the leading rabbis of his time. His influence extended mainly throughout the northwestern part of the province of Polesie, Poland-Lithuania, between the cities of Slonim and Brest-Litovsk and between Kobrin and Baranovichi.
R. Abrahams' writings include Hesed le-Abraham (1886) and Yesod ha-Avodah (1892). His works, which include principles of his Hasidic teachings, attest great scholarship. He advocated the study of Torah for its own sake, prayer with devotion (devekut), love and fear of the Creator, humility and confidence. He saw asceticism and mourning as ways of repentance. He also wrote a homiletic commentary on Mekhilta, entitled Be-er Avraham (1927). During R. Abraham's lifetime, his grandson Noah (d. 1927) emigrated to Erez Israel and settled Tiberias, where Slonim Hasidim found a special place in the history of Hasidism in Erez Israel from the late 19th century. The letters of the rabbis of Slonim to their fellow Hasidim in Erez Israel were included in their writings. Abraham's disciple Menahem Nahum Epstein established his own dynasty of zaddikim in Bialystok. Another grandson, Samuel (d.1916) succeeded Abraham as rabbi and excelled in strengthening religious life and institutions as well as in collecting funds for the Jewish community in Erez Israel. Under Samuel, the Slonim dynasty became famous beyond its own circles for its special Hasidic melodies. Samuel's teaching were incorporated in the works of his Hasidim, Kunteres Kitvei Kodesh (1948), Kunteres Beit Avraham (5. vols., 1950-1954) After Samuel's death, a split occurred among the Slonim Hasidim. The majority chose as their leader Samuel's younger son, Abraham (II; d. 1933) who lived in Bialystok, and later in Baranovichi. In 1918 Abraham II established a major yeshiva in Baranovichi called Torat Hesed, where Lithuanian-Jewish scholarship and Hasidism were combined.
R. Abraham made journeys to Palestine to visit his Hasidic following there (1929,1933). His teachings on the weekly portion of the Torah were published by his Hasidim in the Beit Avraham. His successor in Baranovichi was his son Solomon, who perished in the Holocaust in 1943 with many of his fellow Hasidim. His teachings and letters were published in the Zikhron Kadosh (1967). Meanwhile in Slonim itself, Samuel's eldest son, Issachar Aryeh (d. 1928) inherited his father's position. On Issachar's death his son Abraham succeeded him and emigrated to Palestine in 1935, but did not serve as admor. In 1942, the Slonim Hasidim in Jerusalem established Yeshivat Slonim Beit Avraham. In 1955 Slonim Hasidim elected Abraham III;(b. 1889), the son of Noah who emigrated to Erez Israel in his youth , as their admor. (Admor - plur. Admorim, is the title by which Hasidic rabbis are known. The term is an abbreviation of the Hebrew "our L-rd, Teacher, and Master").
In the 1930's before the Holocaust, there were about 8,605 Jews living in Slonim about 52.9% of the population. Immediately after the outbreak of World War II (September 1, 1939), Slonim was inundated by thousands of Jewish refugees escaping from the advancing German army. Under the Soviet-German agreement the city passed to Soviet rule. In 1939-41 all Jewish community life was repressed. On April 12, 1940, about 1,000 Jewish refugees were exiled to Russia, among them Yizhak Efrat, head of the Jewish Community in Slonim.
On June 25, 1941, after war broke out between Germany and the Soviet Union, Slonim fell to German troops, who began to attack the Jews. On July 17, they carried out an Aktion in which 1,200 Jewish men were rounded up and murdered on the outskirts of the city. Jewish men were taken to a stadium where for three days they were not given food or water, and had to sleep in the open. In places where Jews were permitted to spend the night - in the Great Synagogue, the Nazis created a hellish atmosphere. Early in the morning they would take groups of Jews out to "work" but those who went out never came back. On Breger Street a German with the face of a bulldog was having a good time. With many gentiles looking on, he commands the Jews to dance. "Tanzen sie,verfluchten Juden!" (Dance you damn Jews). Then he orders them to sing, as the Gentiles standing around keep time with their hands to show they are on the side of the bulldog. Beaten, dirty, their clothes torn, the victims were driven in to the theater yard, where bullies in uniform closely inspected their pockets and tossed everything into a sack. It goes without saying that this entire procedure was punctuated by punches, blows with rifle butts and billy clubs.
The news of this "episode" reached Rabbi Yehuda Leyb Fein, who immediately ran to the place, naively believing that he could influence the murderers and protect his "flock." The German guards, apparently affected by his saintly face, stopped him and advised him to go home, but the Rabbi insisted on speaking with the "head man." Again they advised him to go home, unless he wished to join his flock in the yard. "If necessary, I'll go where my people are!" the Rabbi protested.
The guards took him into headquarters and reported what he had said. The bulldog, drunk on whiskey and Jewish blood, scowled and before Rabbi Fein could say a work he grabbed his beautiful white beard.
"You have my permission! Go where your people are!" And with a few slashes of his dagger he cut off the old man's beard and threw it to the crowed with a gesture of disgust. He then tore off the Rabbi's hat and with a wave of his hand ordered his "assistants" to welcome the holy man with their truncheons.
As the Jewish prisoners witnessed this degradation of the saintly Rabbi they felt as if they themselves were being beaten. And to ease his shame, Zerach Krupenia, a grain merchant from Lower Skrorbive Street, put his own hat on the Rabbi's head.
Finally the Germans divided the Jews into groups of 21 and 30 and ordered them to sit down on the ground and sing Yiddish songs while they waited for the trucks that would take them "out to work…"
With the help of Zerach Krupenia and others, the Rabbi climbed up on one of the trucks. Along the entire route he comforted and encouraged his flock, reminding them that from earliest times Jews have been tortured and burned for their Torah. His example raised the spirits of the men.
The truck passed the Zamosche lake. Beyond the village of Petralevici. On a narrow road deep into the woods, the trucks stopped and he was the slaughter-house. Five newly dug ditches were already piled high with bodies of hundreds of Jews. The Rabbi stepped forward, spoke to his group: "We are about to fulfill the sacred commandment of Kiddush Ha-Shem. We are living in Moshiach's time, which goes hand-in-hand with the most terrible suffering and bloodshed…"
The guards ordered the Jews to undress. A burst of machine-gun fire put an end to the beating of thirty Jewish hearts.
Yehuda Leyb Fein, the last Rabbi of Slomin, died in that first massacre. He had become Rabbi in Slonim after the death of Rabbi Mordkhele Oshmener. The first massacre had been organized with military precision. In an 8-hour work-day the German murder -squads had killed 1200 Jews.
The camps for Soviet prisoners of war were in two camps - one in the Elementary School on Skrobive Street, the other in the factory buildings near the highway bridge. The prisoners were constantly subjected to all sorts of nightmarish tortures. They got very little to eat. Colds, fever, lice, filth, shootings, were their everyday fare.
The heart-rending cries from those camps, which could be heard in the surrounding neighborhood, depressed the spirits of the population, especially the Jews, who saw these prisoners as people who were even more unfortunate than they. Every morning the Germans would march the Jewish slave-laborers from their barracks past the barbed wire fence of the camp near the bridge. And every day hundreds of begging hands would be waiting for them; hundreds of pairs of eyes would be pleading with these Jews who themselves had been condemned to death by the same jailers. At the risk of their own lives these Jews would toss their last bits of food over the barbed wire and the skeletons on the other side would fall upon the crumbs like a flock of birds.
The Second Massacre - On November 14th . At 8 am the jackals began their murderous work . They broke in to Jewish homes with a maniacal screaming They dragged women out by the hair. They used their fists and their feet, their clubs and their rifle-butts. The cries of the children were heart-breaking. Infants were torn away from their mothers and piled onto trucks like logs. The half-crazed women were kept away from the trucks with clubs and dogs. In columns of six, with 500 in each group, the Jews were forced to march through the street under heavy guard. On the highway bridge the guards leading one column tore babies from their mothers' arms and threw them into the Szczara River below. A moment later there was nothing on the surface of the water but little children's caps and flecks of blood.
Mira Isaacowitz, a teacher in the Jewish elementary school, who was loved and revered by all (she had educated several generations of students), had been seized for forced labor. People would weep as they watched her marching to work barefoot and with a shovel on her shoulder. Standing at the edge of the ditch , she cursed her murderers - and they let her speak for a few moments. "You are heroes at shooting defenseless women and children, but you'll never beat the Soviet Union! You are supposed to be a superior, culture people, but your army is nothing but a gang of depraved killers! The Red Army will wipe you out like a plague!" With a hysterical cry of curses, the Nazis tortured her until she took her last breath.
As thousands of despairing Jews took their last steps on earth Meir Iznaidin's daughter Elka kept fighting. Along the entire line of march she shouted anti-Nazi slogans in Yiddish, Russian, Polish and German. "Death to the German murders!" Her courage raised the spirits of the despairing . Along Skrobive Street several Polish underworld characters scared at her: Damn Jews - you won't suck our blood any more!" Elka was not intimidated. "You're celebrating too soon," she shouted back at them. "Today it's the Jews - tomorrow it will be the honorable Poles!"
Fanya Katzenelnbogen did the same, slapping and scratching the face of a German officer before she was killed.
cities of Slonim and Brest-Litovsk and between Kobrin and Baranovichi.
Avrom Moyshe Melamed , shames of the Great Synagogue standing at the edge of the mass grave, shook the air with his powerful Av Harachamim- and the executioners did not stop him. The "Amen" of the condemned congregation served as a release from their pain.
On November 14, 1941, in a second Aktion, Germans, Lithuanians, and Belorussians murdered 9,000 Jews in nearby Czpielow. Only a few escaped the death pits. The ghetto which now had about 15,000 Jews including refugees was closed.
On June 29, 1942, the Germans and their collaborators surrounded the ghetto and set it on fire. This Aktion continued for two weeks, many Jews perished in the flames, those who escaped and were caught were murdered in the fields of Pietralewicze. The S.S. and their helpers went through the houses that the fire had spared. The skilled were selected and permitted to take along their wives and one child. The rest were taken away to be imprisoned or shot. Unbearable scenes took when parents had to make a choice of which child to take with them. Many parents refused to do this and chose death with their families. For three consecutive days the Germans ruthlessly set fire to house after house. For two weeks the Nazis did not let the Jews catch their breath. Everywhere lay death.. All this time the non-Jews in Slonim stood behind their shuttered windows and looked out. When the "Aryan" population of the city was given permission to use the Balione Bridge and Ulan Street their eyes were met by a fearful sight.
Thus in 1942, the Jewish community of Slonim was finally annihilated by the "supermen" of the Third Reich
On July 10, 1944, when the city was taken by the Soviet forces, only 80 Jews were found. Former Jewish partisans joined the Soviet army to continue the fighting against the Germans until the end of the war. In 1946 there were about 30 Jews living in Slonim.

29th March, 1928
My dear P.M.,
I do not know if your Trade and Customs Department, or other Commonwealth Department, has made a study of this comparatively new extension of the Credit system.
I started lately to try and find out something about it and enclose some papers as a matter of interest and in case you might have someone looking into the subject for you from the Commonwealth point of view.
By chance, as so often turns out, the last number that has reached me of the Melbourne Stock Exchange Record contained an article on the subject. I find another in the current number of the Midland Bank Monthly Review, both of which I enclose.
I find that the Board of Trade here have made no research into the question, nor, as far as I can find, has any other Government Department.
I am told from several quarters that the only book of any consequence on the subject is a stout two-volume work by Professor Edwin A. Seligman, Professor of Economics in Columbia University (U.S.A.), called, I think, 'The Economics of Instalment Selling', which deals with the subject from the American viewpoint.
There is a three-page article on the subject in Volume 2 of the three-volume 1926 edition of the 'Encyclopaedia Britannica', under 'Instalment Selling', which is well worth reading by anyone studying the question.
I see in the article in the Midland Bank Review that in a future article on the subject they propose to '... make mention of a far distant new country, Australia, where particularly instructive events have taken place'. I will send you this when it appears.
A friend to whom I sent the article from the Melbourne Stock Exchange Record writes:-
On the whole I think the article is sound. My fear is that people will tend to load themselves up too much. A system should be devised that would entail disclosure of all hire purchase obligations when a new one is being entered upon -a tall order, I am afraid! I don't think it will go far wrong in U.S.A.-so far the statistics for U.S.A. appear quite sound. The arguments regarding Australia do appear to show the need for great caution in developing the business. But I still contend that buying on credit has always been conducted on slipshod lines, and is only another form, and perhaps a less desirable one, of instalment purchase.
After all, does it not seem that the opposition to the system is based on the assumption that it will be abused? I confess that I am apprehensive of the evils that might arise in connection with this method of purchase but we have to bear in mind that, so far as I know, such evils have not actually become apparent. As a general philosophic pronunciamento, I think that in most prognostications in most fields the worst never happens, except in the case of death!
Yours sincerely, R.G. CASEY

I am in an open marriage. I know what you are probably thinking because, the first time a friend said this to me, I quickly felt myself growing judge-y. My knee-jerk thought was, She's just doing this to please her husband. How sad. And then, Oh, they must want raise their kids commune-style. Can't relate. But now, years later, I've realized that every relationship is unique, and it's about finding what works for you.
So far, I've found a way to make my relationship with my husband, Edmund, keep its charm, passion, intimacy and commitment. And it has happened by opening the gates. Keep reading »

In Animal Farm, what aspect of the Russian Revolution does the Battle of Cowshed represent?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The Battle of Cowshed is representative of the inner fighting within Russia that occurred between the remnants of the Czar Nicholas II, loyal followers known as the Whites, and the Red Army led by Leon Trotsky, who is represented by Snowball.
The Battle of Cowshed is what eventually leads to the power struggle between Joseph Stalin, Napoleon, and Trotsky, Snowball for control of the Communist party, Animal Farm.
Stalin takes control of the party, putting his friends in top positions in the party, effectively pushing Trotsky out of the party. Trotsky is exiled, goes to Mexico and is assassinated in 1929 on Stalin's orders.
The battle of cowshed represents the October Revolution when the people of Russia got rid of the Tsars, took control, and brought on a new type of government known as communist.

New to this forum. Have been a lurker. Found the posts on totems, and am totally fascinated. But I probably have some stupid questions. I have never seen these before. Do you use them outside in your flower beds? If not, Where? If they are used outside, how are they secured? Don't they break easily with the wind, cats, dogs, etc.? Really looks like fun to make one, but want to have a suitable place to use it so it's not just instantly broken. |

Welcome Deejayjay! Totems are very addicting I must warn you...make one and you'll most likely be hooked! Yes, totems are used outside in the garden...gives the garden a little sparkle and bling! I live in VA, so I take mine inside the gazebo in the winter time because of our winter weather...some folks choose to leave them out and they do fine. The larger totems are usually not secured to the ground, but we do use either a plate or something else that is wide and heavier to give it weight at the bottom. My advice would be not to make them too tall either as that adds to the "wind" factor. You should find plenty of info on the forum as to assembly, glue, etc. Most of us use GE Silicone II for windows as our adhesive. I have cats, dogs, chickens, deer and the occasional goat and cow from my neighbor who manage to get into my gardens, but so far the only one that has gotten broken, got clipped by the weed eater as my DH cut my plants down for winter. Hope you'll give it a try and please post pictures so we can "oooohhh and aaahhh" appropriately! Oh, and no question is a stupid one....only the ones not asked! ~Marlene |
- Posted by laurastheme (My Page) on Tue, Feb 8, 11 at 18:13
That's good advice from Marlene. We have a dog, German Shorthair, who gets into the flower beds, but hasn't broken anything yet. Also, you can make small totems, glue something like an upside down bud vase to the bottom, slip it over a pipe (conduit, PVC, copper), pound a piece of rebar into the ground and slip the pipe/totem over it. If you do a search you can probably find samples. |
- Posted by threekittens_ia (My Page) on Tue, Feb 8, 11 at 20:17
Deejayjay, I'm also going to be making my 1st totem soon. If you look at the post title "New Junk" a dozen or so posts below, she has some pics of totems out in a very pretty garden. See if this link to it works: New Junk post with totems Also, doing google images search for something like "glass garden totems" will show you lots of pics and even more ideas. Lori |
thanks for all the information. I'll have to get some goodies and give it a try. |

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review
A great addition to the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise.
One of the main complaints in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was how bad the netcode was. Although it wasn't unplayable, online latency was not as good as other Capcom fighting games that were released at the time. In Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 the netcode was improved to a great extent making it around as good as Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition. You might still notice some latency even playing within the same country or neighboring ones but its overall a significant improvement over the previous online mode. In addition, UMVC3 finally has spectator mode which was promised in the original game but never delivered. It works pretty well and will definitely make waiting for your next match a lot more bearable. A few other tweaks were added such as being able to rematch when playing non-ranked matches as well as seeing your opponent in the lobby before entering a ranked game to avoid playing games with horrible connections. All of these changes added up offer a much smoother online experience than the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Modes are something that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 lacked quite a bit as other than Arcade and Mission mode there was not much to do. While UMVC3 improves upon modes available it still doesn't give enough to diversify to what you can play. The arcade mode's story and endings remain the same for the previous cast, while the new ones have their own brand new endings. In arcade mode you can now play as Galactus which can be unlocked by getting to a certain amount of points accumulated in the game or by having a save of the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Playing Galactus can be fun for the first time, but it gets boring quite quickly.
The mode that was supposed to add a ton of diversity to the game however was sadly not included on disc. Heroes and Heralds mode promises huge character customization and over the top fights between the cast of the game is going to arrive as free DLC sometime in the near future. It's quite unfortunate that this mode specifically was not on disc for us to try as it would have added a whole new level of replay ability to the game.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a great expansion upon the original that expands on its strengths and fixes a lot of the weaknesses. If the previous release didn't go to your liking then this will probably not convince you for a purchase. However, if you were waiting to purchase or a huge fan of the series then this will definitely be on your must buy list.

A 10 in our books! Wonderful accommodations. Gracious and attentive hosts. Best breakfasts anywhere we have stayed! The top choice for a B&B in eastern Nova Scotia. If you want a truly outstanding stay in quaint, romantic accommodations this is the place to book. Gail and Michelle will welcome you as family and when you depart they will have become good friends; I can't think of a better recommendation.

Great news New York! Mafia Andrew Cuomo's SAFE act restricts cops to 7 rounds per clip too – feel safe?
You know, I hate living in the land of fruits and nuts California, but compared to New York? Maybe it's not so bad. I was listening to the Sean Hannity radio show today, and heard Greg Ball discussing the so called 'SAFE' Act that limited New Yorker's Second Amendment rights that was passed in the dark of night like the ObamaCARE bill. Guess what New Yorkers? This so called 'SAFE ACT" also includes cops. Yes, the NYPD is also limited to just 7 rounds per clip. Feel safe New Yorkers?

I recently bought a house whose lawn was originally done in 1951. An area measuring 115' by 36' was allowed to be overcome by pachysandra, which I have removed. I'm comfortable with the process of sewing grass in this area, but I expect the new and improved cultivars of KBG, Perrenial Rye, and Chewings Fescue are not going to match the old Common KBG. This is in a prominent part of the front lawn, and I'm expecting a noticeable line between them.
So I'm thinking that later this year, I'll need to kill the remainder of the old KBG and sew the same seed there. But I've heard that some folks simply kill the grass, fertilize, then sew the seed over the dead grass (which acts as a mulch), and don't bother tilling. I'm curious if anyone here has had experience with this, or has an opinion. The remainder of the front lawn is over half an acre, and it'd be nice to avoid roto-tilling, if it's not really necessary. I'm in Pennsylvania, in an area with fairly organic soil. The existing lawn doesn't have significant thatch or soil compaction. Thanks for any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unless you have access to a tractor and attachments I would just sow the grass over the old stuff you killed. Half an acre of tilling and smoothing would be a huge task with walk behind equipment. In fact that is a recommended method by some grass seed producers. |

I killed, dethatched, mowed up the excess crud, and then sowed seed right into the remaining dead stuff. My lawn was back pretty quickly (the neighbors were unhappy for a bit, but what the heck). |
That's what I was hoping for. Thanks for the advice. |
- Posted by garycinchicago Z5 Chicago IL. (My Page) on Sat, Mar 29, 08 at 21:51
The old fashioned method is to lift the old sod with a sod cutter, regrade if needed with additional topsoil and reseed. I'm kind of old fashioned myself. |
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Mar 29, 08 at 22:48
Wait until fall when the heat of summer first breaks. Then scalp the grass as low as you can to expose the soil. Rake up what you can to expose more soil. Moisten the soil, scatter the seed, and roll it down with a water fillable roller (rented) to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Then keep it moist. Water every day for 10-15 minutes, three times a day, for 2 weeks. Mow the grass when the new grass gets tall enough to mow at your mower's highest setting. Then weld or glue your mower at that height for the best looking results. The only reason you need to mow at a lower height than the highest is to reseed. You can rent a mower for that. |
What kind of needle are you planning to use to SEW the seed? ;-) |

LAst year i put on a heavy application of professional lawn fertilizer ( was not a slow or controlled release product) because we had so much rain and the lawn wasn't greening up as it normally did. I did the application, we got one big rain and then drought set in....Long story short, the heavy fertilization was too much and it really burned the grass and alot of it died. My question is this... will the dead grass come back this Spring? And if it doesn't what is the best method to use where I have destroyed the grass? I need a professional opinion on this and would appreciate advice on techniqes that really work for an early Spring seeding... Many thanks.....GVG |

Contemporary Landscapes September 7-september 30 ,2007
Photographic works by Joyce Campbell, Soo Kim, Frank Kunert, Han Nguyen, Bruna Stude, William A Long, Kimi Kolba, Nicole Belle, Noga Elhasid & Halit Mandelblit. +installation by Shinichi Ono
Curator : Tal Yizrael
Soo Kim, Hell, hand-cut found photograph, 2004
Han Nguyen, Birds walking,silver print, 1998
It was not a main subject in visual art, however, until the seventeenth century. To that point it had been applied nearly exclusively as the background to figures, illustrations or events.
Photography at its infancy was meant to copy reality as a form of reporting and recording. Often landscape photography, in other than its role as exhibiting fascinations with and appreciations of nature, was a form of proof of the existence of a place. This was especially true if it documented a remote location to which the average viewer had limited or no access.
Photographs from remote locations are frequently testaments to the adventurism of the photographer and add a "halo of heroism" to the action of taking the picture. In this way not only the final product, namely the photograph, is glorified but also the photographer's courage. Just sharing the photographs of one's journey provides an opportunity to tell unusual or exceptional stories.
The works in this exhibition retain the element of fascination with the landscape, but this initial form of attraction is challenged and calls for a penetrating reading of each. The works playfully shift between mindscapes and landscapes.

The photographers in this exhibition take the viewer on their journeys – journeys of metaphoric adventurous minds – while the very action of examining the photographs turns into an adventure unto itself.

They also discovered a 4 foot long 1/4 inch crack that angles down the ciderblock wall in the crawlspace in another area of the house. Evidently this crack allowed water in which started to flood the basement during a recent major storm.

Modern dairy cows have been selectively bred over many generations to produce as much milk as possible. Over 90% of dairy cows are black-and-white Holstein type. These cows can produce approximately ten times as much milk as a calf would naturally suckle, but there can be a price to pay in terms of the cow's welfare.
Mastitis (a painful inflammation of the udder), lameness and a number of other diseases means that many of the highest yielding cows suffer from pain and discomfort through their productive life. The majority of cows in intensive high-yielding herds will often be culled after producing less than four calves due to infertility and disease resulting from stress. Wild cattle would average 10 calves and many organic dairy farmers will have cows still producing milk after giving birth to 10 calves.
Organic farmers believe that stress is one of the primary causes of disease and welfare problems in intensive livestock farming. The Soil Association standards for organic farming are designed to reduce stress to farmed livestock through a variety of management techniques.
Organic farmers are encouraged to use native breeds of cow (like Dairy Shorthorn). These are rarely capable of yielding as much milk as modern dairy breeds (like Holstein), but they are very well adapted to making good use of home grown forage (grass, hay or silage - fermented grass) to produce milk, and are hardier and less susceptible to disease.
High-yielding dairy cows require a lot of concentrated (high energy, cereal-based) feed in order to provide them with the right amount of energy to maintain their own metabolism and to produce the desired amount of milk. The high incidence of lameness in dairy herds is often associated with large rations of concentrated feeds which affect the horn quality of the hoof. Feed for organic dairy cows have to consist mainly (a minimum of 60%) of home-grown or locally produced grass, roughage or forage. This is because organic farming is a holistic, non-input based agricultural production system and so farmers try to grow what they need. The restriction on the amount of cereal organic cows can eat usually results in them producing less milk and as a consequence, experiencing less stress. There can be vast differences in the amount of time that non-organic beef cattle spend grazing. The most intensive systems involve keeping bull calves indoors or in yards. Bull calves are used as they grow quickly. They are fed on high levels of concentrated feeds and silage and finished (fattened up) as quickly as possible. The animals are confined in high numbers, which can increase the risk of infectious diseases such as pneumonia. Less intensive systems allow the calves - castrated bulls and heifers (female cows) - to remain with their mothers. The whole herd is allowed to graze for one or two summers and may be brought indoors during the winter.
An organic beef system allows cows and their calves to graze pasture for most of their lives. They can be finished in well-bedded spacious yards, providing this period does not exceed a fifth of their lifetime. Organic cattle do not have to be housed during the winter, but if they are kept outside, there must be shelter, food and water. As with organic dairy cows at least 60 per cent of the cow's diet must consist of grass, hay or silage. Intestinal worms are a common problem in all cattle and can be avoided on organic farms by rotating the pastures and also allowing the calves to develop a natural immunity from their mothers. Rotating pastures means moving animals to different fields on the farm. Organic producers are encouraged to choose breeds that suit the conditions on their farm
The beef labelling scheme ensures the verification of any information put onto packs of beef. Beef that is labelled free range, grass fed or of course organic will come from welfare friendly systems. If nothing is specified about the system of production there is no way of knowing that the beef that you buy has not come from an intensive bull-beef system.
Approximately half of the nation's sheep (organic and non-organic) are found on hilly upland areas. Most sheep are able to freely range for most of their lives, although some may be brought inside to give birth. Stocking rates will generally be lower on organic farms that other farms.
The big difference between organic and non-organic sheep systems are the methods used to control and prevent diseases. Non-organic sheep are likely to receive many more veterinary treatments than organic sheep. For example many non-organic lambs will be wormed every four to six weeks, regardless of need and newborn lambs may be given antibiotics as a prophylactic (preventative) treatment.
Organic farmers manage their flocks carefully to reduce the disease risk to new born lambs and use clean grazing systems to minimise the need for worming. Clean grazing involves managing pastures so that sheep, and particularly lambs, are only put into fields that have very low or no worm infestation. A piece of land that has not had sheep on it for twelve months or more would be classed as being clean, this could be land that had crops grown on it the previous year or had cattle kept on it. When worming is necessary, only certain treatments that do not leave residues are permitted. Some wormers can leave a residue in the animal's dung which can then affect soil micro organisms. Many non-organic farmers use organo-phosphorus dips to control sheep scab. Organo-phosphorus dips are prohibited in organic systems as they have serious health implications for animal and humans. Double fencing can help to prevent sheep scab, which can spread when infected sheep rub on fences dividing them from healthy ones. However, this method is impractical on upland areas. Maintaining a closed flock (no bought-in stock) can also prevent disease.
Organic farmers who buy in breeding stock are advised to check their health status and quarantine them before they run with the main flock. It is well known that stress renders animals more vulnerable to disease and some organic farmers think that measures designed to protect the health of non organic sheep - dipping, drenching, vaccinating - are often unnecessarily stressful.

The Pompano Beach
Produced By |
PRESS RELEASE CONTACT: GOOD EVENT MANAGEMENT P.O. Box 50025 * Lighthouse Point, FL 33074 2014 POMPANO BEACH SEAFOOD FESTIVAL JUST THE FAQS (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
WHERE IS THE FESTIVAL AND WHERE DO I PARK? -- The festival is in the heart of the newly refurbished Pompano Beachfront, centered at the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier, on the beach one block north of Atlantic Blvd. The festival entrance is into the Pier parking lot on N.E. 2nd street (one block north of Atlantic Blvd.) between A1A and pompano Beach Blvd. There is limited paid parking in the municipal lot at the festival entrance and off of Riverside Drive across from the Sands hotel (turn left at first traffic light east of the Intracoastal). There is parking at the new beach lot at A1A and Atlantic Blvd. There is also paid parking available in a number of private lots around the beach. It is highly recommended that you park along Atlantic Blvd. between U.S. 1 and the Intracoastal. Free trolley service runs from the bank parking lots found about three blocks east of U.S. 1 on Atlantic Blvd. Beachside parking lots fill up early. DO YOU HAVE MORE TO EAT THAN JUST SEAFOOD? - While seafood is the main attraction, there is plenty of good ole American food as well. WHERE IS THE STAGE AND WHAT IS THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT? The main stage is located on the beach on the north side of the pier. There is no seating provided. Just bring a blanket and stake out a piece of sand. The stage can also be viewed from the Pier. CAN I BRING MY OWN DRINKS? -- Unfortunately, the answer to this one is no. You cannot bring coolers into the festival. This is not a money issue (although you are supporting many local charities when you purchase our drinks). In this day and age of insurance regulations and security concerns, we cannot allow you to bring in coolers or other large bags. WHAT WILL I FIND ON YOUR BOARDWALK BAZAAR? -- Another of our most popular features is our Boardwalk Bazaar (arts and crafts). It is an incredible mix of arts and crafts, clothing, and displays by local businesses. The main area is actually on the beach and in our new layout will be set in the shape of a U with the popular community stage on the south end. The vendors actually set up in the sand on either side of a wooden boardwalk. There is an additional area of vendor displays at the Festival entrance. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REVENUES FROM THE FESTIVAL? -- The Seafood Festival is a not-for-profit corporation. Revenues benefit a wide variety of charities and civic organizations. It is one of the things that make the festival so unique. This is a largely volunteer driven event. Groups like Pompano Beach High School, the Boy Scouts, Blanche Ely High School, Exchange Club, Pompano Proud and civic groups like the Greater Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Pompano Beach Fishing Rodeo, Women in Financial Services, Kiwanis, Rotary, Soroptimist, and others supply volunteers and benefit from the profits. Over the years hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for all these groups. ARE THERE ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS? -- Absolutely. "Pompano Jack's Fun Zone" will be located at the south end of the boardwalk. The Festival's kid's area fun zone will feature games, bounce houses, face painters and more. Plus many of the vendors on the boardwalk feature toys and kids clothing. CAN I BRING MY PET? – Unfortunately, NO! No dogs of any size, no birds, no snakes. No animals period.

Will you please tell me what type of mattress is the best when coupled with a platform bed? I am looking for a mattress that is firm, but I have been told that having a platform bed will make the mattress seem firmer than usual. Is this ture? Thanks
Hi Ellen,
In many cases, the opposite is true. It used to be true, when boxspring had plenty of give and platforms were made with a solid base.
Today, most boxsprings are very rigid and most platforms have slats. Make sure your slatted platform has support up the center and legs to the floor supporting the middle.
Choosing a mattress for a platform is no different than choosing one with a boxspring. A good basic mattress with firm support and just enough padding to allow you to sleep deeply, is all you need.
It sounds to me that you've run into one of the many salesmen that would have you buy a pillowtop...or some other mattress that is way too soft.

Dealing with Twins Crying
Two babies, twice the crying – Right? If you have not one but two screaming babies to look after constantly, how are you supposed to stay sane? You can, by learning how to deal with your twins crying beforehand. Here's how.
Crying is Just Communication
Remember that your babies as of yet have no means with which to communicate other than through crying. Don't think of it as you having done something wrong. Crying is something completely natural – In fact doctors say that on average babies cry between 1 and 2 hours per day. Just think of their crying as communication, no more and no less.
It's Not the End of the World
Yes, you should absolutely care deeply about what's going on with your children when they're crying. But it's not the end of the world. Yes, you should react in a timely manner, but that doesn't mean you should hurt yourself – Physically or emotionally in the process.
Don't beat yourself up for anything – Remember they're just babies. You're the adult. It's your job to remain emotionally calm to help bring them to emotional calm as well. Babies have an amazing ability to follow emotional states.
What Does it Mean?
When your babies start to cry, it could mean a variety of different things:
Hunger – This is one of the most common ones. They're hungry and want to be fed.
I want attention – Sometimes babies will cry simply because they want to be loved and held by their mother.
Discomfort – If their clothes don't fit right or if the room is too hot or cold, or if just about anything in general feels uncomfortable, your baby might cry. Do a quick but thorough check to see what's wrong when this happens.
Diaper Change – Yet another common one. If your baby is crying and it's not for food, there's a good chance they've soiled their diaper.
What to Do When They Cry
First thing to do is look for the source of their discomfort. Often times once the source of discomfort is gone, they'll be happy again.
A few things you can do that will help include:
- Singing. Sing softly and lovingly to your baby – That often helps soothe their emotions.
- Rocking back and forth, cradling. This helps create the feeling of being held, which feels great to the baby.
- Just sending love. Babies are very sensitive to their parents – They can feel when your full attention is on them, on loving them.
Twins crying does not have to be a crisis. In fact, it's going to happen very often – So get used to learning how to deal with it on a regular basis. It doesn't have to be an immensely stressful experience.
