ialystok was initially a Polish lord's estate, which subsequently became a busy Jewish city, which experienced government upheavals. The Jews of Bialystok saw the city as a cultural-productive fort; a frontal post of their entity in Poland and defended their city valiantly.T
he Bialystok mother-town was blessed with an abundance of Jewish qualifications ranging from world dominating industrial products through achievements in science, medicine, literature and linguistics. Here, lived, worked and created Dr. Zamenhof the father of Esperanto. Here, Dr. Chazanowicz, the founder of the university book house in Jerusalem, cured the ill and fought for them. From here, the "Hibat Tsiyon" Pioneers took off to establish the Petach Tikva in Yehud and established Eretz Israel."Salute to the magnificent Bialystok- she is worth of it"

ialystok's fate was the same fate as all of other Jewish cities. However, its Jews were not immediately cut off. They were imprisoned in a ghetto, where they fought for their lives until the last moment; until the last person fought with a rifle, a machine gun, an ax and with his teeth…Honor to their ashes and memory.
