“In Memory of the Martyrs of Felshtin community and the surroundings in the Ukraine that were murdered in the Petlura calamity, may their names (the rioters) be removed, in the year 5679, in the month of Adar, in the days of the pogrom, and the holocaust in the days of the Nazi occupation.
“May God avenge their blood.
“May their souls be bound in the bundle of life, memorialized by the people of Felshtin and the diaspora.”

MORDECAI BOIM (BAUM), YOZEF’S SON. He was stabbed through the cheeks in the pogrom. They had to cut off his beard in the hospital. He kept the beard in a religious book. On the way to America, he and his youngest son waited in Poland for eight months for a visa from America. When he received the visa, he became sick and died in Volomin, Poland. Between his old books that the youngster brought with him, I found a book tied with string. I untied the book with trembling hands and found the shorn beard in the book.
