On Monday, 25 May 1942, all Jews were sent from Tyszowce to the surrounding
villages that belong to the Tyszowce commune (Perespa, Łaszczów,
Czermno[?], Podbór, Wojciechówka).⁴⁰⁵ At that time, the authorities made the
Zamość kehillah responsible for them. In the whole area, there were 1,800
Jewish individuals.
Mr Rotring, who relates the following facts, was a permanent Warsaw
resident, living in the village of Podbór at the time of the war; he received
an order from the Kreishauptmann through the mediation of the Judenrat in
Tyszowce that on 15 May, 1942, he had to leave the village with his family
(a wife and two children).
Mr R. relates several loose facts, which took place in that area during
his time there.
On Passover 1942, the authorities ordered that Jews were forbidden to
bake bread for themselves and therefore no Jew could have more than 2 kilos
of flour, all ovens in Jewish homes had to be taken apart, also that no Jew
was allowed to have fat. Whoever had more than 2 kilos of flour must give it
away; failure to do so carried the threat of death. The order created a situation
in which the price of bread rose from 3.50 to 13 zlotys.
All Jews worked at the river (draining the water).⁴⁰⁶ Once, three men
were shot when the Judenrat delivered three men instead of the required
4 men.
In the area, there are a large number of Russian “airdrops,”⁴⁰⁷ which
carry out large-scale agitation among the peasants and the call to sabotage.
[2] A fact [. . .] [when] the “airdrops” find out that a [. . .] has covered
one of them, they immediately carry out an act of retaliation (sometimes
on the same day); they even go as far as blowing up houses with hand
grenades.
According to reports, several men from the Tyszowce Judenrat were shot
during the expulsion.
