“Farewell, my Cracow, / Farewell, / Horse and wagons are waiting in front of my house. / The wild enemy drives me out / Like one drives a dog / Without mercy away from you.” - written on October 24, 1940 by Jewish poet Mordechai Gebürtig when forced to leave his home.
“In Łódź, German planes dropped bombs on the city in the early morning of September 2, forcing inhabitants into air-raid shelters.” - from my book Atrocity of Hunger
