Remnants of Jewish Life in Modern Bialobrzegi
Site of the 19th century Jewish Cemetary The Jewish Cemetary was
completely destroyed when it was plowed to create an apartment complex and road
through it. Yale Reisner of the Jewish Historical Institute said that the street
is called 22nd Lipca Street (22nd July Street). In town, I was told that 22nd
Lipca Street no longer exists, and that it is now called M-ego Listopadil.
Street where Jews lived I was also told that Zeromskiego was a street
where the jews once lived. From the main road - Krakowska, take Rzemieslincza by
the catholic cemetary. Then take Zeromskiego. (This information is unreliable -
The percentage of Jews was very large, so they certainly would have lived in a
large area.)

100 years of civil records in Bialobrzegi Handwritten books of civil
records going back 100 years exist in room 38 of the 3rd floor of the town hall
- the civil records office. Manager (in 1999) Edward Gorczyca was very helpful
(he does not speak English). The town hall is located off of Krakowska set back
from the road on the right side just after the lake as you enter from Warsaw. In
1999, Bialobrzegi had records from 1898 onwards.
Records over 100 years old in Radom
Records from 1862-1893 in
Radom (listed under Bialobrzegi). I'm still not clear whether there is a gap
missing in the 1890s.
Records from 1826-1861 in Radom (listed under
Przytyk). Bialobrzegi did not become an independent community until 1862.
Before, then, it was subject to the community of Przytyk and so records are
listed under Przytyk.
Records before 1826 - civil records were not kept until
1826. Before this time, all records were part of church record directories.
