[1] Persecutions in Radom
Radom is one of the five district cities of the General Government. It numbers
up to 28,000 Jews and 12,000 Germans, officials and their families. With
regard to relations between Germans and Jews, two distinct types must be considered: purely external relations and actual personal relations. The former
are determined by party decrees requiring the application of zoological antisemitism to the Jews, to which a German, as a disciplined patriot, submits. But
their personal relations are formed behind closed doors and lowered curtains.
The Germans mainly lodge with Jews in their homes, both with the intelligentsia
and with Hasids. They come from all strata, even including a general
and an aristocrat. At first, the intention was to evict the Jews and give their
homes to the arriving German officials, but thanks to very energetic opposition,
the order was not carried out. The Germans coming here are not anti-Semitic.
Bringing all kinds of good things home, often for nothing and always
with the best intention, is an everyday occurrence. And should it be necessary
to intervene to save a Jewish friend, it is done even with self-sacrifice.
