Julian the scheissmeister. And another character named Moritz. Who could they be references to? Obviously people Kryzwoszewski didn't like. If he's the writer. He wrote a memoir, as an old man in 1947. Or maybe he wrote it earlier because I have the pdf and one of the last chapters is Rok 1922. Rok means year. Here's what what he looked like:

The Polish State Archives have a bunch of photos of Krzywoszewski and some documents. Also one photo including Jozef Galewski in 1929.

Galewski is third from the left. Almost looks like he has one bad eye? He also appears for about 1 second in a Polish film decades later, but it's almost impossible to get a good look at him. Galewski wrote his memoirs, but they're unpublished.

As a test, I did a search for Jankiel Wiernik with multiple search engines.

Yandex: Pilgrim's CODOH article is the 4th hit. Excellent. This thread shows up on the second page.

DuckDuckGo: The Holocaust Encyclopedia article is the 3rd hit. The CODOH article is the 4th hit. And then many hits for this thread starting on page two.

Bing: Similar to DuckDuckGo but CODOH article and Encyclopedia have switched positions. Pretty sure DuckDuckGo relies heavily on Bing.

Google: Nothing (no surprise).

Overall, better than I expected.

Thanks Stubble! I can't share a link to what I posted because I pulled this stuff off the internet 20 years ago onto my hard drive. I think that image was sent to me back then from a Frederic Mafran who I lost touch with.

Nice find PilgrimOfTheDark!

It's possible there's a gay lover thing. There'd be no way to find out. Krzywoszewski and Galewski? Makes Galewski a leader of the revolt? But just noticed Galewski is only mentioned once in A Year In Treblinka.

I guess I'm hoping for some discovery that fits some of this together.
