On the same day and the next <br>The paramilitary SS units massacred about 5,000 Jews <br>From Eishyshok and adjacent villages.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Zvi Michalowski knew the place like the palm of his hand.<br>He passed the Jewish cemetery beyond which Polish and<br>Lithuanian families lived. He knocked on the door of the first house.<br>A peasant opened the door. In his hand he held a lamp<br>With a Star of David, which he looted from a Jewish home.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> ‘Let me in, please’, the boy implored. The man raised the lamp<br>And looked at the blood covered naked body of the boy.<br>‘Jew, go back to the grave that you came from! ’ he said <br>And he shut the door in his face.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Zvi Michalowski knocked on many doors on that night<br>But nobody wanted to take him in. In his wanderings he arrived<br>In a wooded area. He knew the old widow who lived in the house<br>And knocked on the door. She was shocked to see the boy.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">She held a burning piece of wood in her hand and spurned him.<br>He stood there nevertheless. She cursed him, sending him away<br>With angry words. When he did not move she threatened him <br>With the fiery wood she had in her hand.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But the boy refused to go away. ‘I am your Lord, Jesus Christ, <br>Who came down from the cross’, he told her. ‘Now look at me, <br>Look at the blood of my body, the pain the suffering of the innocent.<br>Please, let me in’. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Shaking all over, the old woman began to pray. <br>She fell on her knees at the bloodstained feet of the boy.<br>Then she slowly rose to her feet, opened the door and let him in.<br>‘Oh, my dear God, oh my dear God, oh my dear God’, <br>She kept repeating her prayer, crossing herself each time. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The boy asked the woman not to tell anyone about his visit. <br>She asked him to bless her family and her, which he promptly did.<br>She gave him food and clothes and prepared for him a warm bath.<br>He stayed in her house for three days and three nights.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When Zvi Michalowski left the house he was dressed as a farmer<br>And carried a food supply for a week. Soon he reached <br>The nearby forest and went into hiding. He survived the war <br>Fighting the Nazis as a partisan.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Paul+Hartal">Paul Hartal</a><div class=q>

A split second later a volley of shots were fired.
His father fell with the others into the abyss, shot dead.
But sixteen year old Zvi Michalowski was alive.
