According to Michael Pizer: The Perlmutter family came from the neighbouring town of Przedecz to Klodawa to manage a large flour mill owned by the Krzewacki family. The
Perlmutters lived in the Krzewacki home, as well as managing the mill. There were two Perlmutters, Guthca and Eda who survived the war and moved to Israel.

Passage from Michael Podchlebnik "Chelmno Survivor Testimony" taken in Kolo June 6, 1945: Generally we were fed well. That evening Krzewacki from Klodawa (whose given name I cannot remember) hung himself in the basement. Another Jew, whose name I cannot remember either, did the same. I was going to hang myself too, but was finally persuaded not to do that.

EMAIL FROM HILA SHEFER WAKSTOK 17MAY2015: You are so lucky with your uncle because my father almost didn't talk about happy times in klodawa. He hardly remembered he's brother and sisters.

EMAIL TO HILA WAKSTOK SHEFER FROM BARBARA GANCZYK 15JUL2015:

Dear Hila, I send you the memory of my late colleague about the mill and trading house of Nachman Krzewacki. During the II Wwar, there was a weapons factory, as well as the headquarters of the Wehrmacht. When the Germans retreated in January 1945, the building was bombed by the Russians and destroyed explosions of ammunition stored there. I still remember the red brick foundation. For a long time in this place there were only ruins. Yours. Bachna.

Waldemar Sztomber:

On the eve of liberation [Kłodawy] at the behest of the Germans we went towards Bierzwienny. [...]  During the night the Russians ran continuous artillery fire, firing before Kłodawy until the Germans entrenched positions and hidden in bunkers in the area Partial and Bierzwienny. [...]In the city itself was still anxiously. It burned several buildings. Germany withdrew burned the palace gene. Fedorenki in Ampcie and military command on Zgórnicy. Command burning down a few days shaking explosions of ammunition stored there by the Germans. For a time, there were German planes over the city. One of them tried to bomb the former mill [KRZEWAKI] on Zgórnicy, in which the Germans small factory very precise mechanisms, except for weapons or aircraft. In the "mill" [KRZEWASKI] they missed, but I think demolished two houses. "

ADDITIONAL EMAIL TO HILA WAKSTOK FROM BARBARA GANCZYK 15JUL2015 FROM A COLLEAGUE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS:

Ms. Barbara:

Very thank for extensive material. I am sending a quote from the text Aaransona.

"The youngest brother Krzewackich of Kłodawy [in Kaliski; lived there nearly 900 Jews], strong and healthy boy, tall, surpassing all of his head, took his own life (hanged himself) and his companions misery, including Podchlebnik said, helped him at it, dragging his feet to put an end to his agony. "

This tragedy took place in the basement of the palace where gravediggers slept. Germany to this "feature" chose only young strong men, so I do not believe that this work selected for the older man. Aaranson account of Chelmno acquired before transfer to the Konin. In Sanniki whence he met a man named Kohn, who heard the story about Chelmno directly from Podchlebnik. In the story of this new information are; Description of death Krzewackiego and reaction dentist from Izbica, who tore up 5 tys.DM and potłuk gold watch .. yet rated Przemek Nowicki clues for me on the person dentist.

How do you think that with you the list could be the Krzewackim? How do I recover after the next operation in June, it will try to come to you. In the museum we have a "paper" version of the list of inhabitants of the Lodz ghetto. I want to copy the missing data on the letter "R". Nobody has the electronic data, and a lot of names appears on the letter. While researching I found traces of many escapes from Chelmno, but unfortunately these people remained nameless. Good luck in your search, because it brings back something important to the history of Chelmno.Best wishes.Lucy N.
