Abstract
Accounts of two women who survived the occupation period, including the so-called third phase of the Holocaust, in the Biłgoraj county under different conditions and circumstances. Estera Fefer owed her survival primarily to herself and other Jews hiding in the forest, but also to Soviet partisans. Tema Wajnsztok survived thanks to her own determination and the help of numerous villagers with whom she hid, worked and received food. She also experienced the violence that was omnipresent at the time. Both accounts were given and written down at different times, places and by different institutions (in 1946 by the Central Jewish Historical Commission and in 1960 by Yad Vashem), which certainly influenced their narrative. The introduction includes biographical information about both authors and their families. Both texts are of very high factual and emotional value. They are complemented by photographs taken before, during and after the war.
