My grandfathers father was Yoel Josel Leiserowitsch Gutperd who was born
in 25 December 1850 -- Radzilow, Lomza, Poland. I would like to know if
there is more information about him and his relatives. Are there any
possibilities to find some relatives. Peter Guthwert |

Moi dziadkowie mieszkali niedaleko Radziłowa w małej wiosce Konopki
Awissa koło Kramarzewa. W młodych latach słyszałem jakieś opowieści o
masakrze w Radziłowie, Wąsoszu i Jedwabnem. Dziadkowie nie chcieli za bardzo
o tym rozmawiać, dopiero lektura tej i jej podobnych stron uświadomiła mi co
się tam tak naprawdę wydarzyło.
Podziwiam ogrom pracy włożonej w powstanie tej strony.
Teraz będąc w Radziłowie inaczej będę patrzył na to miejsce... |

My grandparents lived in a little village Konopki Awissa near Kramarzewo
and not far from Radzilow. When I was young I heard stories about the
massacres in Radzilow, Wasosz, and Jedwabne. My grandparents did not want to
talk about it. Only after looking at your website and other similar sites I
understood what really happened there.
I am amazed by the amount of work you must have put in to create your site.
From now on when I visit Radzilow I will look differently at this place. |

Have just recently learned the name of my father's biological mother (Ludwika
Waliska) and that she came from Radzilowa in 1902. Am just beginning my
search and journey so feel blessed to have this connection. This is an
amazing site and know I will learn much. Will appreciate any help. Thank
you. |

Ann Chana Finkelstein Walters passed away December 16, 2009.
Her photo is on Bikont's book We from Jedwabne and there are
photos and articles about her and her family in Radzilow.
She was the witness to the massacre of Radzilow. May her beautiful soul rest
in peace and love. |

Marvelous page! Thanks to it we were given a rare chance to discover real
Radzilow at that time. We also now have a tool to teach our children the

"Kto nie pamięta historii, skazany
jest na jej ponowne przeżycie" George Santayana. Takie słowa widnieją na
jednej ze ścian w obozie Auschwitz i te słowa przychodzą mi na myśl, gdy
czytam książkę Anny Bikont "My z Jedwabnego" i przeglądam stronę
radzilow.com. Żyję w tej społeczności i ogarnia mnie smutek, gdy widzę jak
ciężko jest rozmawiać o prawdzie . Jeszcze przed sprawą Jedwabnego
interesowałem się przeszłością Grajewa i okolic. Słyszałem o zrzucanych z
okien grajewskiej synagogi Żydach. Oczywiście jedni twierdzili, że to Niemcy,
drudzy że Polacy i wymieniali nawet nazwiska morderców. Znałem relacje o
płynącej ulicami Wąsosza rzece krwi. Dziadek kolegi zakopywał żydowskie
ofiary w Wąsoszu. Dlaczego tak boimy się prawdy? Władysław Bartoszewski,
wielki orędownik porozumienia polsko-żydowskiego mówi, że jest patriotą,
dlatego "bierze odpowiedzialność za przeszłość swojego narodu w dobrym i w
złym". Patriotyzm jest dla niego "postawą wolną od demagogicznych podniet,
od paranoicznego węszenia za wrogiem. Postawą na rzecz czegoś, a nie przeciw
komuś. Na rzecz godności, która wiąże się nieodmiennie z szacunkiem dla
ludzi innego pochodzenia, innej wiary. Bo uznanie różnorodności kulturowej,
różnorodności pamięci pokoleń, rozmaitość tradycji wzbogaca wspólnotę
państwową”. |
|
Translation: |
"The one who does not remember history is bound to live
through it again" -- George Santayana. These words are inscribed on one of
the walls in Auschwitz and they come to me when I read the book "We are from
Jedwabne" by Anna Bikont and when I look at the website Radzilow.com. I live
in this community and I feel sad when I see how difficult it is to talk
about the truth. Before the issue of Jedwabne came to fore I was interested
in the history of Grajewo and the surrounding localities. I heard about Jews
thrown out the windows of the Grajewo synagogue. Naturally, some blamed the
Germans, others the Poles and even named the murderers. I heard stories
about the river of blood flowing through the streets of Wasosz. The
grandfather of my friend buried the Jewish victims in Wasosz. Why are we
so afraid of the truth? Wladyslaw Bartoszewski, a great proponent of the
Polish-Jewish reconciliation says that he is a patriot and therefore he
"takes the responsibility for the past of his nation for the good and the
bad." To him patriotism is a "position free of demagoguery and paranoid
search for the enemy. It is a position in favor of something, not against
somebody. For dignity, which is inadvertently linked with the respect for
people of different origin, of another faith. Because the acknowledgement of
cultural diversity, varied generational memories, and a variety of
traditions enriches the state commonwealth." |

CONGRATULATIONS on a
masterpiece of research and hours of dedication in presenting this website.
My ancestors, for various reasons left Eastern Europe circa 1895 for South
Africa. But a lot of the family remained, none survived WWII having been
murdered by "village neighbours [henchmen]" and the Germans.

Dear Jose,
It is difficult for me to tell you how very deeply
grateful I am to you for putting me in touch with Michael Fields and his
sister. He has helped to ensure that my family's history has not been lost
to me, and I thank you for making that possible.
I watched Beatrice Fields'
video on your website. Her recollections are so touching. It was very
moving for me to see pictures of my great grandfather, who in temperament
must have been very much like my own grandfather, his son, Isaac Meyers. My
words fail to do justice to how much that picture and the interview mean to
me.
Most gratefully,
Patricia (Pat) Mellon |

Though I have no connection to
Radzilow, I visited your site to learn how to improve my own. It's so good,
that I stayed a bit and was very moved to read the story of the Finkelstein
family reunion with a survivor still living in Radzilow. You do an amazing
job with your site; keep up the great work. |

I have already read "My z
Jedwabnego" by Anna Bikont. The book is a gift from my girlfriend on my
birthday. I really am sorry about what happened to the Jews during World War
II. I would like to add that there are days when I would like to say "I'm
sorry" to all the people who suffered from intolerance and genocide due to
being Jews because in Poland nobody cried for them... |

Dear José,
Like many other guests I found your webpage in Anna Bikont's book which I
took having read J.T.Gross's one. I am astounded at the effort you have made
to gather all the information. I had visited Jedwabne in 2002 and read some
articles about the Jedwabne and Radzilow pogroms. The more I read about it
the more ashamed I am of us, Poles. The cruelty towards Jewish people
described in both Gross's and Bikont's books, whether physical or mental is
beyond the comprehension. I wish I could do something to allow Polish people
to expiate... Could I be of any help please let me know.
Regards
Aurelia Parzybut |

Przeczytałam książek Jana Tomasza Grossa pt. "Sąsiedzi",
a teraz jestem w trakcie lektury "My z Jedwabnego" Anny Bikont. Moja mama
czyta tę piwrwszą, a skończyła już tę drugą. Obie jesteśmy wstrząśnięte. Nie
pochodzimy z tamtych okolic, ani nawet nie znamy żadnego wyznawcy Religii Żydowskiej.
Nie zmienia to faktu, że opis wydarzeń z lata 1941 roku odcisnął piętno na
naszych duszach. Nie jesteśmy w stanie pojąć, co kierowało ludźmi, którzy
dokonali tej strasznej zbrodni. Jak sąsiad może zabić sasiada, z którym żyje
w zgodzie? W imię czego? Wierzymy w tego samego Boga, uczymy z tych samych
pism. Nie rozumiemy motywów kierujących mordercami, ale współczujemy i
współcierpimy z Wami, którzy straciliście bliskich w tej tragedii.
Marysia (w imieniu swoim i Mamy Zdzisławy) |

I read the book "Neighbors" by Tomasz Gross
and now I am reading "We from Jedwabne" by Anna Bikont. My mother is reading
the first one and is done with the latter. We are both devastated. We are
not from that region and don't even know any Jews. And yet the descriptions
of events in 1941 have scarred our souls. We cannot fathom what possessed
the people, who committed that awful murder. How can a neighbor kill a
neighbor with whom he has no conflict? In the name of what? We believe in
the same God, learn from the same Scripture. We cannot understand the
motives of the killers, but we empathize and suffer with you, who lost your
loved ones in this tragedy.

I found the link to the
site in Anna Bikont book. Although I am not connected with Jews anyway, I am
a bit interested with this culture and religion. Thank You for a wonderful
site and a doze of history lesson. I feel ashamed for some people of my
country, who still don't understand the problem, or just even don't want to
try to understand it, I feel ashamed for those who did that what happened
and for those who try to cover it with fiction. Wish You best luck in Your

Mr. Gutstein, people like you deserve deep

to you. I cannot fathom and digest the tragedies that occurred in Radzilow
and Jedwabne. Perhaps, this will come with time. I found your address in the
book by Anna Bikont, who also opened my eyes on the still present issue of
anti-Semitism in Poland. I wish you a lot of health from the bottom of my
heart. I apologize for not writing in English, but I am afraid that in that
language my comment would not have made any sense to you. |

My family came from
Radzilova and, as I later learned from you, their family name was originally
spelled Szeraszew. My grandfather and his siblings were fortunate to have
emigrated, but the family that remained behind was murdered during the
Holocaust. The site you have created is amazing in its breadth and scope,
and I will be sending you more old photos and information. Again, many thanks. |

Pochodze z miejscowosci
Glinki - malej wioski 10 km od Radzilowa. W trakcie mojego dorastanie
zabraklo kogos, kto nauczylby mnie bolesnej historii Radzilowa i Jedwabnego,
dlatego teraz ucze sie jej sam. Strony takie jak ta bardzo mi to ulatwiaja.
Gratuluje i dziekuje Panu za wysilek, ktory Pan wlozyl w jej powstanie. |

finished the reading of "Neighbours" from Jan Gross, about the horrible
killing of judes at Jedwabne. I'm impressed, and I want to tell to the the
Jude Nation that I'm thinking about them and what they suffered through the
Shoa. |

Shalom Jose!
What a masterpiece and labour of love you have created. I was delighted to
find your website. I am researching my ancestors who came from
Russian-occupied Poland. Their names were Jozef, Szymon and Maszja. They may
have resided in Radzilow and left in ca.1850. They came to UK and settled in
Manchester, England.
Many thanks again!
Rebekah |

Thanks to pagemaker,
these sites are very well done. The theme, holocaust, is important to all of
us. We don't forget it. I am student (history and finnish language) and
since my childhood I have read and interested in jewish history in Europe
and Russia. |

Piekna strona, gdy ja
odwiedzam zawsze zaluje,ze to jedna z nielicznych, ktora w tak profesjonalny
sposob oddaja atmosfere Przeszlosci.Moja rodzina pochodzi z Kromolowa i
czesto z nostalgia wspomina Zydow, ktorzy go zamieszkiwali.Ostatnio ku
naszej radosci jestesmy w kontakcie z rodzina zydowska dzielaca te same
wspomnienia. Nie do opisania jest niezwyklosc takiego spotkania. Jesli czyis
przodkowie pochodzili z Kromolowa, prosze o kontakt. |

A beautiful page. When I visit it, I
always bemoan the fact that it is one of a very few pages which in a
professional manner present the atmosphere of the past. My family comes from Kromolow and they often nostalgically remember Jews, who lived there.
Recently to our great joy we established a contact with a Jewish family
which shares our memories. It is impossible to describe how special was our
meeting. If anybody has relatives, who come from Kromolow, please contact
me. |

Hey Jose,
This page on Radzilow is brilliant. And a poignant piece of research. Many
of my family left Lomza, 19 miles up the road. in the 1890's. Others were
far less fortunate.
We had e-mail correspondence some 3 or 4 years ago when I was looking for
families with the following names from Lomza and district, namely Ciesielski,
Furmanowicz and Dolowicz.
You name was brought to my attention more recently by a possible cousin
called Miriam Munzer, with whom you have been in recent e-mail
correspondence.
Thanks for all you do.
Best Wishes,
David Lerner |

I am the great grand
daughter of Avram Szwarcberg from Szczuczyn and Radzilow.
I was thrilled to see the picture of our family on the Radzilow web page!!!
I have just discovered these amazing sites which are helping me build a
clearer picture of my relatives, their lives and their tragic deaths.
Thank you so much Jose!!! |

Jestem pod wrazeniem
pracy Anny Bikont "My z Jedwabnego". Tam tez znalazlam adres tej strony. Moi
przodkowie pochodza zupelnie z innych okolic, ale los ich tez nie oszczedzil.
Tyle,ze nie zgineli z rak sasiadow. Slaba to pociecha. Chcialabym wyrazic
uznanie i podziw dla tworcow tej strony. Bede tu czesto wracac. |

"We from Jedwabne" by Anna Bikont made
quite an impression on me. It is there where I found the address of this
page. My ancestors come from another area, but they did not fare better,
except they did not die from the hands of their neighbors. A small
consolation. I am in awe of this page and I would like to express my
appreciation for its creators. I will be coming back frequently. |

I am researching my
family tree and this is the first time I have found my family name correctly
spelled on any website or Holocaust victim's lists. I am shocked but
relieved to have finally found a link to the possibility of family that may
once have existed.
Thank you. |

Dzieki tej stronie nie
tylko odzyly ale i ponownie zaistnialy cienie tych co tam mieszkali i ktorym
zgotowano taki straszny i tragiczny koniec. Jedyna nadzieja w tym, ze
pozostanie pamiec o nich wszystkich i prawda o ich losie. Czesto jezdze po
tych wszystkich miasteczkach i widze duchy ich wszystkich. Nie ma zadnych
slow usprawiedliwienia ani wytlumaczenia. Dla nikogo. Ale najbardziej dla
tych, ktorzy jeszcze dzisiaj chca wbrew najoczywistszym faktom i prawdzie w
jakikolwiek sposob zaklamac rzeczywistosc. A tym bardziej usprawiedliwic.
Brak ich. Wszystkich. Ani ich, ani ich dzieci, ani wnukow.Jakie to straszne.
Jak to boli.
Wielkie dzieki autorowi tej strony i takim ludziom jak Pani Ania Bikont, ze
znowu pozwolili odzyc duchom tych, ktorych spotkal tak straszny i potworny
los. |

Translation: |
Thanks to this page, the
shadows of those who lived there (in Radzilow) and met a horrible and tragic
end not only came back to life, but also started the existence of their own.
There is hope that the memory about them and the truth about their fate will
be known. I frequently travel to those small towns and see the ghosts of the
people who perished. No argument can be used to justify or rationalize their
tragic fate. And by no one. The fabrications and justifications given by
those who disregard the evidence and try to manipulate the truth have no
merit. These people, who met this tragic end are gone. They left no children
and no grandchildren. This is so horrible. This hurts really badly.
Many thanks to the creator of this website and to such people like Anna
Bikont that they brought back to life the shadows of the people, who met a
horrible and tragic end. |

I am 29 and I am a
teacher. I have been reading "My z Jedwabnego" by Anna Bikont where I came
across the address of your site. Both the book and your site are unique. I
have no connections either with Jedwabne or with Radzilow, however, I would
like to express my respect and regard for the work you have done. |

Serdecznie pozdrawiam. Gratuluje bardzo
pieknie utworzonej strony internetowej dotyczacej Radzilowa. W swietle
minionej histori jak i ostatniej publikacji autorstwa Pani Anny Bikont "My z
Jedwabnego" zdalem sobie sprawe z ogromu krzywdy dokonanej na Panstwa
Narodzie z rak mojego narodu. Mam PRZYJACIOL w Izraelu ktorzy nie umieja
jednoznacznie okreslic swojej postawy wobec Polski i rozumiem Ich doskonale.
Liczac jednak niesmialo na to, ze jednak Polska choc w czesci swiadomosci
Zydow ktorzy wyemigrowali/ zostali wypedzeni z Polski nadal jest Ich
Ojczyzna serdecznie Pana pozdrawiam i zapewniam o mojej sympatii.

Warm greetings (from the heart). I
congratulate you on the very beautifully created webpage about Radzilow. In
the light of the recent history and the recent book by Mrs. Anna Bikont "We
from Jedwabne" I understood the great injustice done to Your Nation by my
nation. I have friends in Israel who (because of the recent events) cannot
define their relationship to Poland and I understand them very well.
Modestly hoping that at least some Jews who left or were chased out from
Poland think at least a bit that Poland was their Native Land. I send you my
greeting and assurance of my friendship.

Hi Jose, I
was just reading your entries and could not find one from me. I feel
terrible that I did not send one. It has been about a year since you were
helping me plan my trip to Poland. Your help with finding my family and all
of the pre-trip advice was amazing. I would never have been able to have the
experience I had without your help. Thank you for posting the pictures that
I sent to you.
http://www.radzilow.com/juzba.htm
Hopefully I will have more to send to you later this year!
The new version of the site looks great! Thank you for everything again!
Take care!!! |

Your web page on Stawiski
was truly a masterpiece. My mother was from a 'dorf' (suburb) outside Lomza
and my father's family had deep roots in Stawiski. The family name was Morus
and they were mostly butchers. In 1910 my father came to the USA and my
mother arrived in 1920. The large family that remained in Stavisk were all
killed by the Poles. May G-d avenge their death and suffering.
Thank you very much for your outstanding work. |
