Israel and Ida Rubin from Jaworzno and Four of their Six Children were Murdered in Auschwitz Bronia Rubin-Brandman peruses the Book of Names of Holocaust Victims at UN Headquarters in New York City Zelma Klausner and her Grandson Gideon Tiras were Murdered in the Dębica Ghetto In-laws Laura Stark and Selene Bogyansky were Murdered in the Holocaust The Zarfati Family from Thessaloniki was Murdered in Auschwitz Karolin Lieferánt Disappeared Without a Trace in the Budapest Ghetto In the course of an Aktion perpetrated in Jaworzno Israel and Ida Rubin and their son Tulek were deported to their deaths at Auschwitz Rutka and Macia – were deported from the Sosnowiec ghetto to Auschwitz Rutka and Macia were murdered in the gas chambers on arrival Mila and Bronia passed the selection and were imprisoned in the camp Mila was murdered several months later; Bronia survived Auschwitz and other camps Rutka and Macia Rubin are documented in the Book of Names six of the 4,800,000 names of Holocaust victims that have been collected by Yad Vashem and are commemorated in this monumental installation the fourth child of Israel and Ida (née Mandelbaum) Bronia was eight years old when World War II broke out In an attempt to protect the family from the German onslaught Israel sent Ida and five of the children to Mielec Israel remained in Jaworzno with his eldest son threatening voices – just to hear those voices made your blood curdle  We knew that life would never be the same," Bronia recalls Bronia remembers the utter hatred and antisemitism they experienced the slurs and insults the invading army used when referring to the Jews of Mielec and how they were so brutally treated:  "When the Germans marched into Mielec they burst into the homes of the Jews and made us go out in our nightgowns many of the men were marched to the synagogue and burned alive."  After a while her mother and siblings returned home to Jaworzno Bronia and her family were able to stay in their home but their store was confiscated along with all of their money Bronia was forced to smuggle goods her father could sell on the black market in order to buy some basic provisions: I would cover up my "Jewish" armband with a big shawl and go on my mission I was almost certain I wouldn't return home but not before I would have been tortured to reveal the names of my network contacts because one never knew what was going to happen  Often you had to make split-second decisions and you didn't always make the right choice We could never have prepared for the challenges that would come and her parents were taken to the synagogue to be deported Her other siblings reached their hiding places in time "If I had been caught running away I would have been shot right in front of her but that was the risk she took."  Instead of running Bronia decided to inch her way slowly out of the synagogue where she begged to be hidden until nightfall Realizing that her parents and brother were not likely to return Bronia and her sisters decided to flee to Sosnowiec a town nearby where they heard there were still Jews "None of us mourned that our parents were certainly going to be murdered I think that that was the moment when something inside of us died We couldn't grieve because we ourselves were dealing with the unknown."  In Sosnowiec Bronia continued to smuggle food for her siblings the Nazis began to liquidate the Sosnowiec ghetto The residents were rounded up and sent away were discovered during one of the Aktionen and deported to Auschwitz "We knew we were being taken to our deaths and no one said a word," Bronia recalls of the harrowing train ride to the extermination camp This is how we were greeted upon our arrival at Auschwitz We were told to leave all our belongings behind We were terrified and powerless."  At the selection Mila was directed to the right while Bronia and her sisters were told to go to the left "In another split-second decision I decided to run to the line where Mila stood having a young twelve-year-old girl next to her Bronia and Mila were taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau their hair shaven and arms tattooed with their prisoner numbers a pair of wooden clogs and an equally valuable possession The sisters were assigned together to one of the barracks but it always began by being woken up very early in the morning.. we were made to stand for roll call sometimes for hours on end the prisoners were marched to forced labor Work was not meant to be productive in Auschwitz How can I describe being hungry for two years What we got could not be considered food or eating What we consumed was meant to keep us barely alive another day In addition to the constant hunger and fear of death Our bodies were one big scab from scratching all the time  As a result of these subhuman living conditions Mila came down with typhus and was sent to the infirmary Everyone in the camp knew that going to those barracks was a one-way ticket to the gas chambers Bronia chose to go with her sister to the infirmary told me that the next day all of the infirm were going to be taken to the gas chambers,"  Bronia recalls "That nurse risked her life in order to save mine I felt so guilty not going with Mila that I believed I didn’t deserve to live."  The next day and Bozenka cared for her even when the young girl was in a coma for nearly a month Bronia remained at Auschwitz until January 1945 Bronia was supported by Bozenka on the march to the Ravensbrück concentration camp Bozenka and Bronia were forced onward to the Neustadt-Glewe camp they were liberated by the Red Army at the beginning of May 1945 Bronia recalls liberation as the worst time of her life Mendek and Bronia immigrated to the United States in 1950 with whom she had two daughters and built a family life in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn Bronia Rubin-Brandman didn't talk about her wartime nightmare refusing to tell her family what she had endured during the Holocaust when she began volunteering at the New York Museum of Jewish Heritage and one of the visitors noticed the tattoo on her arm Bronia begin to tell the harrowing story of how she and her older brother were the only members of her immediate family to survive working tirelessly to ensure that people all over the world know of the unprecedented atrocities of the Shoah In 2005 and 2011 Bronia submitted 34 Pages of Testimony to Yad Vashem bearing the names of her beloved family members who were murdered during the Holocaust; names that are commemorated in Yad Vashem's Book of Names The Holocaust touches me in a very deep way The Nazis left me without any tears; the enormity of the devastation of the deliberate and planned murder of six million innocent people The fact that there is a Book of Names of so many of these victims ensures that when the last Holocaust survivor dies our story will remain for humanity to know and remember The Book will continue to be a testimony to our lives as survivors as well as to the victims – who lived and breathed like my parents Each of them had their own unique identity Poland’s first electric car plant will be built in the town of Jaworzno in the south of the country The groundbreaking ceremony for the factory is scheduled for next year ElectroMobility Poland (EMP) presented two electric car prototypes to be produced EMP had analysed around 30 locations in Poland for their suitability in the run-up to the decision With a memorandum of understanding now signed by Environment Minister Michał Kurtyka and officials at the local and regional levels the factory construction is now taking place in Jaworzno EMP says that the choice and the government’s financial support for the project will make it possible to start the investment in autumn 2021 the originally targeted start of production in 2023 proved to be too ambitious the assembly lines in Jaworzno should start rolling in 2024 the company has not revealed details yet on the planned production capacities but around 15,000 jobs have been announced including 3,000 at the plant itself and 12,000 with suppliers and subcontractors ElectroMobility Poland is owned by the state-owned energy groups PGE, Tauron, Enea and Energa. The company is also the developer of the Izera, the future Polish electric car, which, as was said at the presentation of the first two prototypes is to be based as far as possible on components from Polish suppliers although this will probably only be possible to a limited extent is the responsibility of the German company EDAG The vehicle will also use the existing electric car platform of an as-yet-unnamed manufacturer EMP announced two battery variants with 40 and 60 kWh The car is to be able to charge to 80 per cent in 30 minutes at a corresponding fast-charging station and the manufacturer states that the expected range is 400 kilometres The next prototypes shown were a compact car and an SUV I agree with the Privacy policy electrive has been following the development of

The Survivor team to bring the important film to the screen and received a production credit Assistance included providing access to Haft’s and other survivors’ testimonies in the Visual History Archive and consulting with the producers to ensure historical accuracy Crispin Brooks is curator of the Visual History Archive and over the years has played a key role in archiving its testimonies He is also immersed in Eastern European studies He spoke to us about consulting on The Survivor What did the consultation process on The Survivor film involve we reviewed and commented on an early version of the script then researched our Visual History Archive to identify testimonies relating to the Jaworzno (Neudachs) labor camp [a subcamp of Auschwitz] where Harry Haft was a prisoner for much of the war The VHA contains over 200 testimonies in multiple languages about Jaworzno and we shared copies of many of these so that their team could learn from the testimonies of people who were there Matti and his team would come to me with various questions— What sort of instruments would have been played in the camp and what sort of music Is there any information about the hospital at Jaworzno How did prisoners get to and from the mines Was it possible for prisoners to wheel coal from the mines out to the trains I was able to answer all of these by delving into our testimonies Matti asked for quotes from the testimonies that he would attach to the film crew’s daily Call Sheets to remind them of the realities of what they were filming What were some of the main challenges [in ensuring the historical accuracy of the film] [As with any creative project like this] there was some back and forth about some historical details in the earlier versions of the script We identified and discussed these at length and they were resolved before the final cut It was fascinating to dig into the many testimonies we have on Jaworzno And because the testimonies are in multiple languages I received invaluable help from my colleagues in particular Ita Gordon (Portuguese) and Laurence Slama (Hebrew) What are special considerations to take in addressing historical accuracy in filmic treatments of personal stories It’s always a challenge for filmmakers to balance historical accuracy with dramatic needs the volume of testimonies we have on Jaworzno really made it possible to provide very accurate information about the camp primary] sources are not always simple to work with there are two testimonies by Haft himself—one is at USHMM the other is in our VHA—and there’s also a memoir about him [These three sources are not all the same in that they] tell things slightly differently Building both an accurate and compelling script and film narrative from them was no easy

modern depots in Europe the operator intends to purchase another five pantograph charging stations and ten plug-in charging stations for the depot While the Urbino 8.9 LE can accommodate 55 passengers the Urbino 12 electric can carry up to 75 passengers both models have comfort features such as USB charging sockets or a WLAN network Even more passengers can be transported by the Urbino 18 electric articulated, ordered by the local public transport operator in Warsaw last year Each of the 130 electric buses can carry up to 133 passengers The first of the articulated battery-electric buses recently started regular service in the Polish capital Incidentally, the Polish manufacturer Solaris intends to deliver more than 500 ordered battery-electric buses this year The proportion of electrified buses is rising steadily – and with it their importance for the entire company The higher proportion of electrified buses is also reflected in turnover: While sales rose by only 21 per cent compared to 2018 (1,226 buses) turnover in 2019 increased by 39 per cent – to 2.604 billion Polish zlotych Following the above orders from the city of Jaworzno the local public transport operator PKM again wants to grow its e-bus fleet the company asked Solaris to deliver six Urbino 18 electric The batteries boast a total capacity of over 280 kWh and at the heart of the drive will be the usual electric axle Just as with the vehicles already used by the operator the new buses will be charged both utilizing pantograph chargers and conventional charging sockets The articulated e-buses will hit the streets of Jaworzno within one year of the contract being signed Taking into account the delivery of a total of 43 e-buses from previous orders PKM now runs 80 per cent of its fleet electrically “This is a phenomenon on a European scale an example of just how to deploy e-mobility in towns with up to 100,000 inhabitants,” Solaris said orders placed by Polish operators now account for almost 40% of all-electric contracts signed by Solaris The company also quotes a report published by the Polish Economic Institute (PIE) entitled ‘How to support e-mobility’ that sees Poland having the third-biggest fleet of electric buses in Europe by 2025 greencarcongress.com, solarisbus.com (login required) Today the city of Jaworzno in Poland will start testing the Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen bus Local transport operator PKM Jaworzno wants to learn all about what the deployment of hydrogen has to offer in urban transport Operator PKM Jaworzno and Solaris Bus & Coach have been continuously collaborating for 21 years now over 80 Urbino buses sporting the operator’s distinctive colours have been […] over 80 Urbino buses sporting the operator’s distinctive colours have been plying the streets of the city of which over half are zero-emission electric vehicles the company will be operating a staggering 50 e-buses PKM Jaworzno has been introducing various innovations which are then later eagerly taken up by other towns and cities Wi-Fi Internet and USB charging ports are already standard equipment for the carrier’s fleet Positive experiences with the mass operation of buses that use new drive technology have contributed to the rapid development of e-mobility in Poland One electric bus in Jaworzno drives up to 100,000 km yearly and provides passenger transport services of up to 400 km daily vehicles of this type have already covered over 11 million kilometres in total having proved that with suitable traction battery capacities and an appropriate number of charging stations an e-bus may successfully replace a diesel bus in service Jaworzno will be able to gain invaluable experience regarding the use of this advanced technology The test’s aim is to determine real-world hydrogen consumption during intensive operation of the bus with passengers on board as well as to estimate the necessary frequency and time of refuelling The vehicle’s behaviour in low temperatures will also be tested The trials will show if this technology can be applied in future as the next step in the development of completely green public transport on the most commonly used routes in Jaworzno connecting the largest residential districts of the city This will provide numerous possibilities to travel on this unique vehicle and to learn more about hydrogen technology Hydrogen refilling will take place at a mobile station run by industrial company AirProducts “I was very glad to hear that the possibilities of this state-of-the-art vehicle will be put on trial in Jaworzno a city which is an excellent example of the successful implementation of e-mobility in public transport which will enable the city to thoroughly acquaint itself with all the functionalities that the Urbino 12 hydrogen offers for everyday urban traffic Let us recall that Jaworzno was a trailblazer when it comes to fleet electrification in Poland and it is even by European standards it has a chance to become a leader in hydrogen technology another advanced technology for the zero-emission transport of the future I believe that today nobody doubts any more that in the modern world hydrogen is one of the key pillars in public transport’s transformation,” said Petros Spinaris member of the Management Board of Solaris Bus & Coach sp “It is very important to us that Jaworzno be perceived as a place that supports new technologies and is open to investors and new residents Efficient public transport is a pivotal aspect when it comes to the functioning of the urban organism According to regularly conducted public opinion surveys local residents appreciate the high quality of our transport services Over 80 percent of the city’s inhabitants use public transport and 88 percent approve of the introduction and development of the local electric vehicle fleet,” says Paweł Silbert “Our company’s first e-bus is already 7 years old We constantly need to remember to renew our vehicle fleet and are looking for the most efficient technologies in this regard We hope that the experience gathered during the trials will enable us to successfully apply for external funding for further fleet modernisation we will be the first to announce a date as of which a large city will no longer be served by diesel buses,” notes Zbigniew Nosal The production of Poland’s first electric car is delayed The state-owned company ElectroMobility Poland (EMP) has now confirmed that production of the Izera brand of electric cars will not start until the end of 2025 EMP made this statement to the German publication Automobilwoche The state-owned company has also confirmed that construction of the factory in Jaworzno is now scheduled to begin in early 2024 ElectroMobility Poland did not provide any further details Originally, production was supposed to start in 2024 It is not known why the start of construction and production is now delayed Problems with the approval or financing of the project are possible but of course also with the development of the vehicle: EMP had only confirmed in November 2022 that the Izera would be based on Geely’s SEA platform Since this cooperation was only decided in November 2022 even with a complete takeover of Geely’s technology sufficiently test the vehicles for a production start in 2024 – and still prepare for production EMP has only secured the licence to build vehicles based on the SEA So EMP still has to organise component production together with suppliers this was to be done primarily with Polish suppliers in order to increase domestic added value – after all EMP was founded with the aim of compensating for declining passenger car production in Poland As “Automobilwoche” now writes German companies will also benefit from the approximately 1.1 billion euro investment volume: Dürr is responsible for planning and building the production facilities EMP intends to rely “heavily on local suppliers” in addition to the plant manufacturer from Baden-Württemberg A number of suppliers have indeed settled around the ex-Opel plant in Gliwice (formerly Astra the small car plant in Tychy and also the Mercedes site in Jawor (including combustion engines these are “often subsidiaries of western suppliers” automobilwoche.de In a joint project with Impact Clean Power Technology and TAURON Polska Energia Polish electric bus manufacturer Solaris is exploring the secondary use of lithium-ion cells as energy storage devices in stationary applications For the construction of the prototype system which will be built as part of the ‘Second Life ESS’ project Solaris will hand over batteries with a nominal capacity of 160 kWh used in the electric bus of operator PKM Jaworzno PKM Jaworzno was one of Poland’s first public transport operators to rely on electric buses – today 23 e-buses are on the road with 20 more ordered in spring 2020 Solaris says that the first electric buses they delivered in 2011 have now covered more than half a million kilometres the batteries need to be replaced after this mileage a battery in an electric bus is considered worn out when its capacity falls below 80 per cent,” says Łukasz Chełchowski director of Solaris’ development office it is still perfectly suitable to be reused as energy storage in stationary applications.” That is exactly what the batteries in the project will be used to test They will be used both as buffers for renewable energy and to stabilise power grids Solaris says that the development and construction of the test facility are expected to be completed by 2022 called ‘Second Life ESS,’ is being implemented in cooperation with the National Center for Research and Development (NCBiR) Work on the development of the prototype system is scheduled for completion in 2022 solarisbus.com "You Never Said Anything About Yourself"- The Story of Michael (Miki) Goldman-Gilad Michael Goldman-Gilad was born in 1925 in Katowice in
