Hello Miron,
I would be interested in knowing what you make of this unsigned, undated, typed letter that I recently found among my 93-year old aunt’s documents…presumably, the letter was sent to her mother/my grandmother (Manya Goldfarb Galperin menitoned below) after the war. It mentions the Pomoraka 44 address in Lodz.

SENT TOSWIECIM

Samuel Goldfarb, Lodz, Pomoraka 44, is anxious to hear from his mother, Mrs. Emeny Goldfarb, 24 N. 60th St., and his sister Mrs. Fannie Koren, 2608 N. 53rd St.

“I was with my wife and nine year old daughter in Lodz when the war broke out,” said Goldfarb. In 1941 I received all necessary papers to travel to America, but unfortunately the Germans would not allow me to leave the country. I remained in the Lodz ghetto until Aug. 26, 1944, when the Germans sent me with all the other Jews to Swiecim concentration camp. From then on I lost all contact with my wife and child.

“From Ozwicecim I was transferred to the Dernau concentration camp and later to Schottenberg where I was freed May 6, 1945 by the Red Army. While I was in Schottenberg on Sept. 22, 1944, I had written a letter, which was found by the Germans. Since letter writing was strictly forbidden, I was sentenced to death by hanging. Due to my good record at Dernau, however, the death sentence was changed to 25 strokes with a whip.”

As a result of the punishment and countless sicknesses in the concentration camp, Goldfarb said that he became deaf in his left ear. Since his release, Goldfarb has written a book on his experiences in the concentration camps. He plans to translate the book, “Walka o Zycie” (Battle for Life) into eight languages, including English.

Goldfarb asked me to inform his family of his existence. Besides his mother and sister in Milwaukee, he has a sister Mrs. Mani Galperin in Galveston, Texas, and two brothers Jacob and Max Goldfarb, somewhere in the United States.

Ruth, I wish I had the time…
I’d love to visit Poland, and Lodz especially.

Hi! I have seen many such websites that provide competitive analysis for free. My personal favourite is www.estimix.com . It seems to generate very accurate traffic information, too.

Unfortunately, advanced computer programming skills aren’t essential to arrange this. Scores of free tools are obtainable for download on the World Wide Web specifically directed at catching, reconstructing, and running VoIP conversations. While hacks can use these tools for unauthorized access to VoIP calls, they also serve a recognised role. VoIP administrators can take advantage of these said tools for penetration examination of their own nets.
