is known as the Ghetto, it being the
Jewish quarter of the city.
The house in flames was crowded
with families. scores of children be-
ing in the building. When the fire
licked up the third and fourth sto-
ries, mothers were crazed in their eff
forts to save their offsprings, and
maddened with fear threw their ba-
bies out of the windows
Mrs Esther Cohen and two of her
children perished in the names, the
children hanging to their mothers
skirts.
The little ones that were thrown
from windows were nearly all caught
by police and firemen. That several
of them escaped was miraculous.
There were thirteen families in the
house. In addition to those men
toned Max Solisburg, John ]. Rear
don and Michael Ostfeldt were killed
by the fire, and it is believed others
persisted. as the fire spread SO rapid
ly and escape by the hallway was
