Eva Galler

Misery in the Lubaczow Ghetto

On October 14, 1942, the Jews of Oleszyce (and nearby communities) were ordered to the ghetto in Lubaczow [Lou-batt-choff], a town seven kilometers from Oleszyce. Before the Jews left their homes, while they were hurriedly packing, the Polish and Ukrainian neighbors descended like vultures. They grabbed what they wanted, and fought savagely to keep it. The Jews, concentrated in the ghetto, subjected to disease and starvation, awaited deportation and murder. The ghetto was filthly and impossibly overcrowded. Eva’s family and relatives, thirty-seven in all, lived in a single room, and they were lucky. Eva offers a vivid description of the Lubaczow ghetto: “People lived even on the street. They lived in halls. They lived in the steps they lived in the attics. Where ever they had place. Because of the tightness and proximity and the unsanitary conditions there were epidemics. Different infectious diseases. So we lived so close that they spread very quickly. Many people died. Everyday were funerals.”
