Remnants of Jewish Life in Modern Bialobrzegi
Site of the 19th century Jewish Cemetary The Jewish Cemetary was
completely destroyed when it was plowed to create an apartment complex and road
through it. Yale Reisner of the Jewish Historical Institute said that the
street
was called 22nd Lipca Street (22nd July Street). In town, I was told that 22nd
Lipca Street no longer exists, and that it is now called M-ego Listopadil.
Old and New Map
Info from the Pre-WWII map and the
Yizkor book preface "walking tour" of Jewish Bialobrzegi
is combined with a modern map.
Street where Jews lived I was also told that Zeromskiego was a
street
where the jews once lived. From the main road - Krakowska, take Rzemieslincza
by
the catholic cemetary. Then take Zeromskiego. (This information is
confusing as
the town was about 60% Jewish at one point,
so they certainly would have lived in a large area, although this
street looks to be what was once called Suska street in the Yizkor
book preface.)
100 years of civil records in Bialobrzegi Handwritten books of
civil records going back 100 years exist in room 38 of the 3rd floor of the
town hall
- the civil records office. Manager (in 1999) Edward Gorczyca was very
helpful
(he does not speak English). The town hall is located off of Krakowska set
back
from the road on the right side just after the lake as you enter from
Warsaw. In
1999, Bialobrzegi had records from 1898 onwards.
Records over 100 years old in Radom
Records from 1862
are in Radom (listed under Bialobrzegi).
Records from 1826-1861 are also in Radom (listed under
Przytyk). Bialobrzegi did not become an independent community until 1862.
Before, then, it was subject to the community of Przytyk and so records are
listed under Przytyk.
Records before 1826 - civil records were not kept until
1826. Before this time, all records were part of church record directories.
