On November 5, 1942, the Germans destroyed the Drohyczin Jewish ghetto in the Bialystok region of Poland. About 1,500 of its residents were loaded onto trains and sent to the Treblinka death camp. The night before the ghetto’s destruction, Estera Siemiatycka fled with her toddler son, as well as with her sister and her sister’s daughters.
Initially, they found refuge with a Polish acquaintance and then fled into the forest. According to Siemiatycka’s testimony, one day when she set out to find food, Polish farmers raided their hiding place, arrested Siemiatycka’s sister and the children and turned them in to the Germans. All of them were shot to death. Despite the tribulations that Siemiatycka suffered after that, she survived the war.
