The Jews of Bialystok During World War II and the Holocaust
Jewish society as an active protagonist in the story of the Holocaust
Jewish Bialystok and Surroundings in Eastern Poland
"Countless men and women around the world today think of themselves as "Bialystokers," whether by birth or inheritance. In recent years, growing numbers of them have taken the trouble to make their way to northeastern Poland to visit - or revisit - the region that has been called "the heart of European Jewry," This Guide for Yesterday and Today is for them, as well as for students everywhere of the lost Jewish heritage of Poland. At the outbreak of World War II, more than three-quarters of all the Jews in the world either lived in Poland, or on former Polish lands, or were descendants of Jews who had lived there. The city of Bialystok alone counted at least 50,000 Jews, and refugees from the...

Voices from the Bialystok Ghetto
For more than 70 years a diary that was written in Bialystok during World War II was virtually unnoticed and about to be discarded with trash when someone looked inside and discerned its historic value. It was written between 1939 and 1943 by young David Spiro (in Polish Dawid Szpiro) who probably died during his city’s ghetto uprising against the Nazis. The diary described life in the city during Russian and then German governance from the perspective of an ordinary young man - certainly not a charismatic leader. As David explained, “If someone reads my diary in the future, will they be able to believe something like that? Surely not, they will say poppycock and lies, but this is the truth, disgusting and terrible; for me it’s a reality.” With permission from the current owners, much of David Spiro’s poignant first-hand account is reproduced here along with memoirs written by other Bialystokers who lived and mostly died during those terrible times.
Jewish Bialystok and Its Diaspora
The mass migration of East European Jews and their resettlement in cities throughout Europe, the United States, Argentina, the Middle East and Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries not only transformed the demographic and cultural centers of world Jewry, it also reshaped Jews' understanding and performance of their diasporic identities. Rebecca Kobrin's study of the dispersal of Jews from one city in Poland -- Bialystok -- demonstrates how the act of migration set in motion a wide range of transformations that led the migrants to imagine themselves as exiles not only from the mythic Land of Israel but most immediately from their east European homeland. Kobrin explores the organizations, institutions, newspapers, and philanthropies that the Bialystokers created around the world and that reshaped their perceptions of exile and diaspora.

Bialystok to Birkenau
Memoirs of Mielnicki, who was born in Wasilków, near Białystok, in 1927. Pp. 92-205 recount his experiences in the Holocaust. Describes the German occupation in June 1941, followed by a pogrom carried out by the local population. Mielnicki, with his parents, sister, and brother, was interned in the ghettos of Białystok and Pruzany. In December 1942 the family was deported to Auschwitz, where Mielnicki's parents were killed and he was separated from his siblings. In 1944 he was sent to the Buna factory, where he befriended Russian POWs who helped him adopt a Russian non-Jewish identity. In early 1945 he was transferred to Mittelbau-Dora and then to Bergen-Belsen, where he was liberated. He returned to Białystok, then emigrated to France and later to Canada. He was reunited with his sister shortly after the war, but with his brother, who was in the USSR, only 47 years later. In 1991 he testified at the German war crimes trial of Heinrich Kuhnemann, an SS-officer at Auschwitz who had beaten Mielnicki's father and sent him to his death, but Kuhnemann was not convicted.
