Buyer's premium:

Texted signed on paper, filled in by hand that “Rabbi Haim Mordechai promises to study mishnayot of Ch. 1 of Tahara until Ch.1 of Machshirin and to finish by Parshat v’Etchanan.” Afterward is the wording that he would say before studying, with the name of the deceased “Asher bar Zvi”, by the “Havurat Mishnayot of the Old Beit Midrash of Ulanow.” Size 10x13cm.Written on an old document in Polish. Folding creases, overall good condition.

This is a very interesting document since very few Jews survived the Shoah from this town: “On Simchat Torah 1942 an order was given according to which all of the Jews of Ulanow were required to leave and move to Zaklikov. Most of the ghetto residents moved to Zaklikov and their fate was that of the Zaklikov community. A few dozen Jews of Ulanow avoided moving and tried to hide in towns and villages in the surrounding area but the overwhelming majority were caught by the Nazis and their collaborators and were murdered.” (Book on the Polish Communities, Volume 3, p. 46).
