In the town, frightening scenes are being played out. The costliness
grows from minute to minute. [2] The local kehillah is unable to help all the
unfortunates.
The Jews from the towns, who survived by sending parcels to Warsaw
and earned their livelihood from this, are at risk of remaining without a livelihood,
because the costliness has greatly affected the local residents!
On account of the various rumours that are circulating in the town, Jews
live in fear.

SKRYHICZYN
January 1942, Warsaw ghetto, author unknown. Testimony “ ”סקריהיטשין
[Skryhiczyn]. The fate of the community of Jewish farmers from the village:
the pogrom after the entry of Germans in 1939, execution of all the
men of the Halperin family; expulsion on 22 November 1941.
[1] Skryhiczyn
“This day upset us all. All the Jews were ordered to leave Skryhiczyn within
30 minutes. You can easily imagine the situation of these unfortunate people.
One was not allowed to take anything except for household items.
The land was also taken from all the Jews of Skryhiczyn.
Who knows what kind of events are still before us.”
Thus writes a local woman, who witnessed the expulsion that took place
on 22 November 1941.³²⁵
325 Some of the Skryhiczyn Jews were deported to Hrubieszów in November 1941 and detained there in the labour camp.
