which was a tavern. At night everything in the

During the German-Austrian occupation of the
First World War, the town suffered greatly from
lack of food. The forced labor tormented everyone.
Every second day, people received 4 V, pounds of
bread mixed with sawdust. The pieces of wood
were removed from the bread, and it was eaten as
if it were the best cake.
During the later period, the headman in town
was a German or Austrian colonel. He was a
liberal man. He overlooked the illegal trade across
the Bug River and, as a result, the town's situation
with food became much easier. Before his departure
from the town, this colonel appointed a
committee that consisted of six Christians and six
Jews, among them Meyer Natanzon, Kalman
Kopelzon, Leybish Gleizer, and Gedalia
Grimatlicht. He also provided arms for self-defense
against bandits from surrounding areas.
Until the middle of the 1920s, there were two
Jewish pharmacies, owned by Kalman Kopelzon
and Israel Natanzon. In reality, the two were only
"drug stores," but they dispensed all kinds of
prescriptions. The real pharmacy belonged to a
Pole.
Until about 1920, Luboml had no Jewish doctor.
We only had two feldshers (paramedics):
Motl Royfe and Hersh Royfe.
