Museums and galleries - Puszcza Białowieska - Zwolnij Naturalnie - Virtual Museum of the History of Jews in Białowieża

The Virtual Museum of the History of Jews in Białowieża is devoted to the history of life and death of the inhabitants of Jewish nationality who from the mid-19th century to 1941 co-created the Bialowieza world.

The museum has only a virtual form, it has no physical expression. In addition to the knowledge sought out in the nooks and crannies of the inhabitants, archives of scraps, few publications and books of remembrance of the neighboring towns, and a few photographs and letters preserved in the families of pre-war emigres, no trace of Jews left Białowieża. Not only does the synagogue not be demolished in the 1960s as one of the last wooden synagogues in Poland,hardly anyone knows that it rises in the very center of present Białowieża on the main street Stoczek, and then in the center of the village of Stoczek, and the Białowieża rabbi has your biography in the encyclopedia. Over 60 houses on this street are houses in which Jews lived and had their own stores, sometimes their own, and sometimes one that they dealt with together with Belarusian or Polish hosts.
