Chava and Jadzia Liwer received a gift of life on June 24, 1941: a Polish passport issued in Tokyo, Japan. The certificate was obtained by Abram Liwer, husband of Chava and father of Jadzia. The Liwer family had fled their native Bedzin, Poland, on August 20, 1939, and resettled in Lvov, Ukraine. When Chava and Jadiza were deported to Siberia, Abram Liwer fled to Vilna and then later to Kovno, Lithuania. In Kovno he obtained the passport for his wife and daughter and a visa for himself. The family was reunited in Tokyo on April 1, 1941.

Jews of Bialystok, Poland, participate in forced labor. When the Nazis occupied the city on June 27, 1941, they quickly rounded up Jews for labor brigades, acts of public humiliation, and deadly, sadistic games. German soldiers herded hundreds of Jews into a local synagogue, locked and barred the doors, and set the building on fire. Everyone inside was burned alive.
