Every year, I share the memory book of the lost shtetl of Zaromb, near Treblinka. It is a haunting catalogue of horrors, compiled in 1946. One of the recurring themes of the accounts: Zarombers faced as much danger from Poles as they did from Germans.

“As we saw later, the Poles took an active part in the massacre of the Jews of Zaromb. Several days before, a number of Polish cart drivers had been given orders to be ready to transport the "Zshides" (derogatory term for Jews) of Zaromb. They kept that order secret.”
