Acknowledgments

I wish to express my gratitude to Abraham Weissbrod, who gave us this chronicle and told us what happened to the Jews of Skalat under the Nazi occupation. I also wish to thank my fellow survivors, an ever diminishing group of living witnesses, who contributed their testimonies in spite of the pain which these memories caused them. I'm especially glad that the voices of those who were children under the Nazi occupation of Skalat have now been heard. Their stories illustrate how deeply they had been seared by their childhood tragedies.

I am grateful to the following individuals for their help in editing the English text:

Adam Kanarek, a fellow survivor, for his sensitivity and ingenuity in helping to decipher unclear passages, abbreviations and foreign expressions, and for giving generously of his time;

Joseph Kofler, also a fellow survivor, for taping and reading the Yiddish text and for helping to compare it with the first version of the English translation;

Lewis Rosen. for making further valuable editorial suggestions; and

Lynda Pandolfo, for her patience and kindness in typing the English text.

I am indebted most of all to my husband, Bernard Milch. for his constant support. Having survived the Nazi occupation in Kozowa, Ukraine, only fifty miles from Skalat, he understood better than anyone and relived with me the stories told in this book. His love and that of our children, David Milch, Neal and Lesley Milch and our grandchildren. Cody and Julia, were the inspiration to undertake this effort and their encouragement helped to see it through to its completion.
