"My eyes are still afflicted by the horrible pictures of our murdered brothers’ blood and suffering. Unfortunately, my authorial skills are too lacking to present everything, so that each of you who had the luck not to go through these things could feel them in an instant…. I can only assure you that each time is so rich in horrors that it is difficult to find a parallel in human history." --Kremenetser Betsalel Shvarts, writing in Kremenits, Vyshgorodek, un Potshayuv yizkor bukh, p. 339
