I have managed to find and to talk to three living survivors of the Staszow Ghetto:

Mr. Steve Hershkop, who lives in Toronto, Canada. You can read (and listen to) his story here.

Mrs. Batia Aizenberg - lives in Israel. She was rescued on the "death
train".

Mr. Jack Aizenberg, went into hiding the day before the Black Sunday. He was hiding in the attic of his aunt's house in Gorna Rytwianska street for a week. After being discovered he was taken to ammunition factory in Kielce. He was later an inmate of Buchenwald, Kolditz and Theresienstadt. He was liberated May 1945. He lives with his wife in Manchester, England.

Mr. Myer Bomsztyk, lives in Manchester, England.

Faigl Boguchwal escaped to Germany where she worked on a farm. 1945 -1951 lived in England. She then emigrated yo USA, where she lives now.

Meier Bydlowski was born in Staszow in 1898. Survived the liquidation of the main ghetto. On 20 November 1942 transported to the transit camp in Sandomierz. On 10th January 1943 escaped from the train destined to Treblinka. Survived in the Staszow forest. After the war lived in Bucharest, Romania.

Mrs. Roza Rotenberg, lives in Toronto, Canada. She was hiding in the forest around Staszow.

This is a list of other people who survived the Holocaust:

Eve Nisencwajg, who as a child was placed in the home of Stanislaw and Wiktoria Szumielewicz in 1941. For the duration of the war, Eve posed as their orphaned niece. In 1946 members of the Jewish Brigade removed her to a Jewish orphanage in Krakow. Soon after, Eve was taken to a children's home in France, where she remained until emigrating to Canada in 1947.

Mr Rotenberg - he was hiding in the Golejow Forest. Emigrated to Canada after the war. Sadly he passed away in August 2007.
