Murder Story of Iwieniec Jews at the Iwieniec Cemetery

Two weeks after the first slaughter, 13 Jews were ruthlessly murdered. The local anti-Semites put together a list of Jews, saying that they were Communists, and they gave the list to the Germans. The police were able to round up only 13 Jews. The rest were either at work or lay hidden. When the police came to take Chaim Shif, they didn't find him. They calmed his wife and assured her that they were not coming to arrest him, but simply to take him to work, describing the commandant's office. Chaim allowed himself to be fooled and came out of hiding. The police took him to the gathering spot that was in the cellar of Wirszubski the pharmacist, and was also used as a jail. A policeman I knew also came into my house to take my husband and said he only wanted to take my husband for work and that I had nothing to fear. But I kept on claiming that I don't know where my husband is. They brought the 13 Jews out of the cellar and took them to the New Town near the cemetery, where they tortured and shot them. Among the 13 Holy Ones were: Zeevl Malczik and his daughter Yenta (whom the murderers brutally tortured and then shot), Eyzer Okuń, the brothers Leybe and Ruvn Szkliar, Berl and Hoyshie Lifshic, Chaim Shif, Motl Bejcz, Feyvel Kuzniec, Itcheh and Yakov Kiwowic, and the convert Abraham Woźniak, a former Polish sergeant whom the Christians couldn't forgive for converting to Judaism.
