Original stiff wrappers . 8vo. 184 pages. 22 cm. First edition. This memoir relates the wartime experiences of Jewish partisan Doctor Michael Temchin. Dr. Temchin, nicknamed 'Znachor' (Witch Doctor) was at first the commander of the partisan unit of A. L. (Armja Ludowa) , the leftist underground organization in Poland, and after became chief of the medical services of the partisans. The partisan unit under the leadership of Dr. Temchin consisted of Jews and non-Jews, and was active in the area of Krasznik (Lublin district) . The Jewish and Polish partisans planned to rescue Jews in the ghetto of Krasznik before they were taken onto the crematoria, and waited for a sign from the ghetto to start the attack on the little town and liberate the Jews. The ghetto representatives kept postponing their decision to act. The partisans warned them that it might soon be too late, but the inhabitants of the ghetto were in no hurry to call for help from the partisans. A possible reason for their reluctance may have been the fact that they knew of the mass murders of Jews in the partisan units, carried out by Polish fascist groups, living in the woods. Of course the partisans did not want to attack without the consent of those helpless Jews living within the walls. The entire ghetto was wiped out in one night, and only a few succeeded in escaping to the partisans. (In the book The Jewish Partisans; Part 2, page 210) Among the most famous Polish partisans was Major 'Znachor' (Dr. Michael Temchin) . General Rola-Zhimierski, the commander of the A. L. Declared at a meeting of the Polish National Assembly on the 2nd of January 1946: Jewish soldiers fought against the occupation forces with much devotion and courage. They were valiant fighters and very often great heroes; and in his letter to the Organization of Jewish Partisans (F. P. O. ) , the general wrote: Among the Jews who remained alive there were thousands who went into the woods to fight with arms, and fought together with their Polish partisan comrades against the common enemy.
