While being there at night, I saw the flames of the ghetto. And I
saw also certain pictures which were seared in my mind. Some Jews
running from one place to the other and also seeing some Jews
jumping from buildings, but I was observing this from a window and
I couldn't do anything. And then flames burst into the ghetto. The
Germans couldn't take over the streets, they start putting block
after block on fire. They start burning the ghettos...the
buildings, and this was the uprising which we...the small group on
the Aryan side, we tried to get through. We tried to communicate.
We decided even to go into the into the ghetto to be with them but
it was, everything was in vain. We didn't have any communication. We
saw only tanks coming in, tanks going out, or some ambulances going
in and we're listening to the shooting and in that time it
was...they...we have to let the outside know what is going on.
