Book excerpt: Bielawski describes his experiences during the war, including survival of the "Aktion" of 22 September 1942 (when the Jews of Węgrów and other small towns in Poland were sent to Treblinka) by hiding behind a false wall in the attic. With the exception of a brief respite when the Nazis allowed a few Jews to live in Węgrów for utilitarian reasons, most of the time the family was hidden in many different places in the surrounding countryside. Describes the enthusiasm of local Poles in tracking down Jews.
