Kolbuszowa is gone now. Before World War II it was a thriving,
small Polish town of 4,000 people, half Polish Catholics, half
Jews, where family and the traditional ways of life were strong. It
was the town where Norman Salsitz was born, in 1920, the last of
nine children. It was the town that he helped to destroy, forced by
the Nazis in 1941 to assist in the brick-by-brick destruction of
the Jewish ghetto in which his family lived. Salsitz was
subsequently sent to a German work camp, but escaped into the woods
to live and later tell his story of Kolbuszowa to Richard Skolnik.
Salsitz speaks to us both as an exceptional witness to everyday
events in the town and as a shrewd observer of the broader
landscape. Colorful details bring the people, the customs, and
habits, both religious and secular, back to life.
