Urke Nachalnik
   
Written to his sister Bracha in Wizna, in very poetic language: "It may be that the road I will take in life will lead me toward greatness, fame and gold. It may be that I will never reach anything, I will die in poverty and that life will not be kind to me. Nevertheless, whatever the future holds for me, I do not want to celebrate my future successes or to weep in advance. I desire only one thing forever: to love you my sister, to love you, to love you to the end of my days." I. Farberowicz
