1) This is a veiw of the town
from a rural setting.
2) This building was the Police
Station during the war.
3) This is the one remaining
Jewish Cemetery. It is severely
damaged with no incriptions visable. It was known as the "new
Jewish cemetery". It is in a somewhat remote setting on
the road to Sokoly. The Matzevahs (inscriptions) were removed
by Jewish slave laborers, and used by the Germans to widen the
road from Bialystok towards Moscow. A few may have remained after
the war, and could have been removed by Poles.
4) Another view of stones in
the cemetery
5) Insite the ohl (monument)
to Rabbi Avraham Akiva Subotnik. Rabbi in Zabludow 1904-24
6) Another view of the ohl
7) Picture of the statue of Lenin
built by the Soviets in the town square during their stay in
Zabludow June 1939 to September 1941. This picture is in the
town hall. According to the Zabludow Memorial Book when the Germans
came into town they made a group of Jewish men take apart the
statue and bring it to the Jewish cemetery, and give it a Jewish
buriel. The men were beaten along the way by Germans, and a group
of Polish men from the town joined in.
8) Maruisz Kasprzsk and my guide/translator

9)The Poles called this "Jewish
Road". It lead to the leather factories which were owned
by Jews.

of my friend Mieczyslaw Szylkiewicz in the Catholic cemetery
