This map shows the approximate former location of the Zabludow Synagogue. Located right near the Synagogue was the Mikvah (ritual bath), the Heder (religious school), and a large Beit Ha Midrash (study house). None of these structures remain today, and the properties where they were located bare no resemblance to the way they looked before the war. On the map's lower left you can also see the location of the remnant of the Jewish Cemetery.
"The synagogue stands on its ground. It has existed for centuries. It's building, made of wood, comes out of the deep. From the middle of the valley of sand, and it is higher than all the roofs of the town".
Quote fromr "The Town in the Density of the Forest". Zabludow Memorial Book, Buenos Aires, 1961. By Yaccov Krepliak Building on far left is the Heder (religious school), in the middle is the Beit Ha Midrash (study house), and on the far right is the edge of the wooden synagogue.
This municipal fire station appears to have been built on the site of the Jewish Mikvah (ritual bath) building, and very near where the synagogue stood.
Tilford Bartman points where the Mikvah was located in this sandy lot behind the fire station. Several years ago some digging was being done here and a large foundation was taken out. It is thought to have been the foundation of the Mikvah. The synagogue likely stood very near this location.
