Abram Wajnberg - 38 years old
1904-1942
Abram Wajnberg was born in 1904 in Siedlce and became a baker, father of three, and man whose hands smelled of bread. Before the war he lived at 22 Wojskowa Street in Siedlce, owned a small bakery, and was known for waking at 2 AM, for his flour-covered cap, and for leaving day-old challah outside his door for poor families, saying no one should have no bread for Shabbat.
He had a wife and three children, ages 10, 7, and 4.
After the German occupation in 1939, he was confined to the Siedlce Ghetto with his family. In the ghetto he baked with sawdust and rotten flour when there was no flour, taught his son to knead dough when schools were banned, shared his tiny loaf with orphans, and kept the oven lit so people would know there was still bread.
He said as long as the oven burns, we are alive.
During the liquidation of the Siedlce Ghetto in August 1942, Germans surrounded the ghetto and marched about 10,000 Jews to the station, shooting bakers who had no more bread to give. He walked holding his wife and children, his hands still white with flour. They were loaded onto cattle cars with no water for two days to Treblinka extermination camp.
He was murdered at Treblinka with engine exhaust fumes on arrival in August 1942. He was 38 years old. His wife and three children were murdered with him.
We remember Abram not as a number from Siedlce, but as a thirty-eight-year-old baker who said no one should have no bread for Shabbat, who left challah outside his door, and who boarded the train to Treblinka with flour on his hands, telling his children they would bake again where they were going.
