Grodzisk Mazowiecki
Szyje

I have learned about Szyje from prof. Pelczynski's book. The book regards some other subject but because for some personal reasons prof. Pelczynski mentioned him in one of the chapters. Before the war Szyje had worked for his father. During the war they were in some sort of touch but at some point Szyje disappeared. Up till now the professor is looking for some trace. There were many Jews in Grodzisk before the war. Today only the old buildings remember them, shaded patios and walls falling apart. People don't. The Jews have turned into some abstraction. I hope that the story of Szyje will be the key to remember Jews not as a nation, but name by name.
