2 Part Interview with Mr. Jakub Müller
Wspomnienia ostatniego
sądeckiego Żyda Jakuba Muellera (zmarł w 2010r w Malmo). Jako
jedyny z licznej rodziny uchronił się przed śmiercią w
obozie koncentracyjnym w Bełżcu. Po wydarzeniach Marca 1968 roku,
kiedy nasiliła się inspirowana przez władze komunistyczne
kampania antysemicka, wyjechał do Szwecji i tam zamieszkał na
stałe. Jakub Mueller był nazywany przez sądeczan
strażnikiem cmentarza żydowskiego. Przez ponad 20 lat opiekował
się tym miejscem.
*Memories of the
last Sącz Jew Jakub Müller (he died in 2010
in Malmo). The only
member of a large family saved from death in the
concentration camp at Belzec. After
the events of March 1968, when
intensified by the communist-inspired
anti-Semitic campaign, he went to
Sweden and settled there permanently. Jakub Müller was called
by Sądeczan guardian
of the Jewish cemetery. For over
20 years he took care of the
place.
