Town History ~ see excerpts below and also, check out the “Nowy Sacz” entry at Wikipedia

By far the largest town in the region is Nowy Sacz (Sonch), which lies above the confluence of the Dunajec (Dunayets) and Poprad, 25 miles (40 km) west of Gorlice. Despite its name , it has already celebrated its 700th anniversary, though it preserves only a handful of notable historic monuments and is primarily of interest for its museums and as a touring base. The Rynek, which has a bombastic Town Hall in the middle dating from the end of the nineteenth century, is the largest main square in the country after that of Cracow. A couple of blocks to the west is the Franciscan church, which still preserves much of its original Gothic shape. The parish church of St. Margaret, just off the eastern side of the square, has not been so fortunate, having been subject to frequent alterations which have left it as a stylistic hotchpotch.


On the latter's southern side is the Gothic House, a former ecclesiastical residence which is now home to the Regional Museum. This contains several hundred works by the Lemko artist Nikifors, who gained an international reputation for the naive paintings he executed between the end of World War II and his death in 1968. Another highlight is an important collection of fifteenth- to eighteenth-century icons brought from the former Orthodox and Uniate churches of the region, many showing an obvious debt to Roman Catholic art. There are also a few examples of the work of the local fifteenth-century painters who formed, in conjunction with their counterparts in Cracow, the first recognizable Polish school of painting. Finally, the museum has an extensive array of folk art of the region, most of it with religious subject matter.


On ul. Joselewicza to the north of the Rynek is the former synagogue, which dates back to the seventeenth century and was later a leading center of the revivalist Hassidic movement. It has lost its internal decoration and now serves as a commercial art gallery. Another gallery has been set up within the ruins of the castle beyond, which commands a fine view over the Dunajec (Dunayets). Built in the fourteenth century for King Kazimierz the Great, it was blown up by the retreating Nazis at the end of World War II.


The Ethnographic Park, one of the best skansens in Poland, lies 1 1/2 miles (3 km) east of the town center in the district of Falkowa. It is due to expand considerably in the future, but around fifty redundant rural buildings have already been re-erected on the hilly site, and the interiors of a dozen or so of these, all of which are furnished in the appropriate style, can also be visited. They are grouped according to ethnographic regions, and include a special section devoted to Gypsy culture.

A city in the province of Cracow, S. Poland. Jewish settlement is mentioned in a document of 1469. The Great Synagogue, renowned for its beautiful frescos, was completed in 1746. In 1765 there were 609 Jews (154 families) in Nowy Sacz . At the beginning of the 19th century Austrian authorities compelled the Jews to live in a special quarter. During the first half of the 19th century the hasidic dynasty of the Zanzer Hasidim was established. In 1880 there were 5,163 Jews (46% of the total population) living in the town. By 1890 the number of Jews had decreased to 4,120 (32%); to rise again to 7,990 (32%) in 1910.


Between 1900 and 1914 a Jewish school was established, which in 1907 was attended by 204 pupils. In 1921 the Jewish community numbered 9,009 (34%). Tarbut and Beth Jacob schools, a yeshivah, and sport clubs were supported by the community. Over 10,000 Jews lived in Nowy Sacz before the outbreak of World War II, with another 5,000 living in smaller towns of the county.

 The first accounts of Jewish settlement in Nowy Sacz come from 1469, when the name of a certain Abraham from Sacz appears in the town's documents.

 Until the middle of the 17th century the city council blocked the influx of Jews and allowed only for the settlement of well-qualified specialists. This situation

 changed completely in 1673, when in the face of a growing economic crisis King Michael Korybut Wisniowiecki lifted all existing restrictions. The local Jewish

 community was mostly involved in the honey, wine, fur, leather and tobacco trades. An ell, the local standard for measuring length, was placed next to the

 synagogue. The 19th century brought with it the phenomenon of Chasidism. It exploded with great force in Nowy Sacz and made the town one of the main

 centres of this religious movement. It was due in large part to the charisma of the local tzaddik Chaim Halberstam and his yeshivah.

 Jews constituted approximately 30% of the local population. They lived mostly in the town centre and in Pieklo, a part of the Zakamienica district. A large,

 empty square on the corner of ul. Kazimierza Wielkiego and ul. Boznicza is now the only reminder of the Nowy Sacz Jewish quarter.

 The Nazi occupation of Nowy Sacz began in September 1939. Jews were forced into slave labour, toiling in quarries or unloading trains. Already poor, they

 were impoverished still further by the unwarranted contributions which they were required to make. In June 1941 the Nazis marked out the Jewish Housing

 District, a walled quadrangle situated between the castle and the Market Square. The doors of the houses were bricked up and curtains were to be drawn all

 the time. The extermination here started at the beginning of 1942. Its main arena was in the Jewish cemetery in ul. Rybacka, where mass murder and executions

 by shooting were  a regular occurrence. A day which is indelibly marked in the memory is 29 April 1942, when several hundred people were killed in the space

 of one day. In honour of the victims a memorial was erected at the cemetery. Poles repeatedly tried to help their Jewish neighbours. Despite this, ninety per cent

 of Nowy Sacz Jews lost their lives. After the Second World War until 1968 a Congregation of the Jewish Faith operated here. The only private Chasidic house

 of prayer in Poland still functions here today.

Nowy Soncz (Yiddish – Zanz) Cracow District, Poland

Jews are recorded from the end of the 15th century, living there in small numbers under various residence and trade restrictions until the second half of the 17th century.  Jews were then welcomed in the effort to rebuild the city after the mid-century invasions and epidemics destroyed its economy.  Under a privilege granted in 1673, they laid the basis of an organized community.  Jews dealt mainly in trade (honey, wine, copper, textiles, furs, and tobacco).  They were also active as millers and distillers, craftsmen and moneylenders, the last particularly to the local nobility.  A fire in 1769 allegedly spreading from the Jewish quarter and destroying the Franciscan church provoked anti-Jewish agitation cut short only by the Austrian annexation of 1772.  Under Austrian rule, Jewish trade expanded into the empire but heavy taxation and numerous restrictions affected the Jewish economy adversely.  The Jewish grain trade was cut back and Jews were not allowed to purchase houses from Christians or employ Christian servants.  The liberalization ushered in by the 1848 revolutions eliminated most Jewish disabilities and paved the way for increasing Jewish prominence in the city’s economy.  Almost all its merchants were Jews as well as most distillers and innkeepers as the Jewish population grew to nearly half the total in 1880 (5,163 out of 11, 185).  To continue reading this summary, which is really quite fascinating, go to…. http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/Nowy_Sacz/history.htm

*********

·        November 1292 - King Waclaw II (Wencelaus II) granted Nowy Sacz a foundation charter "Nova Civitas Sandecz". The document was very favorable to the settlers invited by it. It allowed them to build many public edifices, including two public baths, cloth halls, butcher stalls and mills. The city was given the right to take 5/6 of the profits coming from the cloth halls, wine storehouses, assay offices and craftsmen's stalls. 

·        In 1918 Poland gained independence.  During the Second Republic (Inter-war period) Nowy Sacz became the capital of the county. The railway factory was enlarged and many new factories and workshops opened. 

·        In 1992 Nowy Sacz celebrated its 700th anniversary. During this year there were many important and interesting cultural events. Nowy Sacz was honored by the presence of the President of the Polish Republic, Lech Walesa, at the main celebration on October 4th.

In the southern town of Nowy Sacz, where some of the country's poorest Roma (Gypsies) reside, the local government launched a new initiative to improve the lives of the city's Roma. The initiative calls for hiring a special liaison to the Romani community, improving housing and access to utilities (sewers and running water), and expanding educational opportunities for Roma.                                                                                                                           Source:    http://www.terrorismcentral.com/Library/Government/US/StateDepartment/DemocracyHumanRights/2000/Europe/Poland.html

The Grodzka Synagogue
This pretty synagogue, once known as Grodzka, was erected in 1780 on the site of the former wooden one. The elaborate Baroque decor was destroyed by fire in 1894, and afterwards the facade was remodeled. The Nazis turned the synagogue into a storehouse. After the war it was returned to the Cracow Jewish community, which donated it to the city in 1974.

 

The columns of the bimah have remained but there is no recess for the aron ha-kodesh. The ceiling is new. The interior is filled with the works of local painters.

Only the vestibule contains a modest display of Judaica, entitled "They used to be among us". A plaque commemorating the 25,000 Jewish inhabitants of the city and funded by the Nowy Sacz Landsmanshaft can be seen on the wall of the building. (ed. -see a photo of this plaque and translation of Polish inscription below)

Beys Nusn (Natan's House of Prayer)
The only functioning Chasidic synagogue in Poland today, as well as the only private one, was built at the turn of the 20th century by Natan Kriszer, a member of

the Sendzer Chasidim. During the Second World War it was turned into a storehouse and the wall paintings were destroyed. From 1945 to 1968 it functioned

again as a  synagogue. It managed to survive until the fall of Communism as it was used once more as a warehouse. In 1992 the synagogue underwent an overhaul.

Sabbath services take place on occasion, particularly when groups come to visit. These may include Chasids from Satmar (now the Romanian town of Satu Mare),

who have recently joined the group from Bobowa. The matter of the synagogues affiliation is as yet unsettled. At present it is a private place of worship, but the

warden is making efforts to join with the Cracow Jewish community to ensure the prayer hall's continued existence. Ul. Jagiellonska 12 (in the courtyard).

The keys to the synagogue may be obtained from Ms Barbara Makuch, ul. Rybacka 3/2 (opposite the cemetery)

The Nowy Sacz Jewish cemetery is very close to the Grodzka synagogue and practically on the bank of the River Kamienica. It was laid out at the end of the

19th century and extended in 1926. It is now surrounded by a solid wall and as the grass is cut regularly, one gets an impression that the cemetery is well

mantained. Some distance away and surrounded by about 200 matzevot (many of them recovered after being used by the Germans as paving stones) you can see

 the ohel of Chaim Halberstam. During the Second World War the cemetery was the site of the gallows and it was here that Jews and Poles (including those who

harboured Jews) were hanged. It is commemorated by a memorial, but the inscription: "To the victims of Nazi barbarity and the heroes in the struggle for the

freedom of the Polish nation", seems somewhat incomplete and should be modified. Alongside, there is another monument which commemorates the massacre of

29 April 1942.

The earliest known Jewish community was about 1690. 1921 Jewish pop. was 9009. Tzadik Chaim ben Leib, (1793-1876)

settled there in 1830. He (1876) and Aron ben of Chaim (1906) are buried there. The landmark cemetery was established

during the second half of the 19th century with last known Orthodox Jewish burials in 1968 and 1969. The isolated urban flat

land has a sign or marker in Polish and Hebrew mentioning Jews and the Holocaust. Reached by turning directly off a public

road, access is open to all. A masonry wall and locking gate surrounds. The approximate size of before WWII and now is

3.19 ha. 100 and 500 gravestones, all in original positions with 50-75% toppled or broken, date from the 19th-20th centuries.

The cemetery is not divided into sections. The marble, granite, sandstone and concrete finely smoothed and inscribed stones or

flat stones with carved relief decoration have Hebrew and Polish inscriptions. The cemetery contains monuments to Holocaust

victims, marked and unmarked mass graves, and an ohel. The cemetery used as a Jewish cemetery only. Properties adjacent

are commercial or industrial, agricultural and residential. Occasionally, organized Jewish groups and private visitors stop.

The cemetery was vandalized but not in the last ten years. Jewish individuals and groups from abroad re-erected stones,

Cleared vegetation, fixed wall and gate 1989 through 1991. Contributions from visitors and Leo Getterer Foundation pay

regular caretaker. (see above address). Weather erosion and vegetation are moderate threats. Vegetation is a seasonal

problem preventing access. Pollution is a slight threat.

The cemetery appeared to be in remarkably good condition. Mostly all of the tombstones were upright. Monuments to the

Holocaust and ohels were in also in good condition. Grass and ground vegetation was generally under control. There was no

graffiti on the cemetery walls or on the tombstones.

Sanz Dynasty ~

       

            In the 1840’s, Rabbi Hayyim ben Leibush Halberstam established his court there, making the community one

of Galicia’s more important Hasidic centers.  The dominance of the Hasidim also retarded the advent of

Zionism until the beginning of the 20th century.

 

                                                                     *****

 

            In the early nineteenth century, the Zanzer (from Zanz, the Jewish name of the town) Hasidic dynasty was founded

            in Nowy Sacz by Rebbe Chaim Ben Arieh Lieb Halberstam.

              

                                                                     *****

           
In accordance with the teachings of their master, Chaim Halberstam, the Chasidim of Nowy Sacz represented an ultra-Orthodox approach which even managed to shock other Chasidic groups, who regarded them as reactionary. Apart from raising asceticism to a point where it became a fundamental principle, they resisted all forms of innovation, including assimilation. Boys were not allowed to attend secular schools; the teaching of Polish language was forbidden; they even condemned the activities of the Agudat Isroel party, which, ideologically speaking, was not that dissimilar in that it forbade

participation in politics. The first of many tzaddikim was the master, Chaim Halberstam (1793-1876). His successors were as follows: his son Aron (1826-1903), Moshe (d. 1918), Izaak Tobiasz from Glogow Malopolski (d. 1927) and Jozef Menachem (d. 1935). The dynasty ended with Mordechai Zeew Halberstam from Grybow (d. 1942), who was murdered by the Nazis in the Tarnow Ghetto. The Nowy Sacz dynasty gave birth to many offshoots and, apart from the most famous of all in Bobowa, there were also dynasties in Cieszanow, Gorlice and Sienawa near Lezajsk.

 

Chaim Halberstam (1793-1876), founder of a dynasty and referred to as the Sendzer rebe (the Teacher from Nowy Sacz) was one of the most distinguished of all tzaddikim. He was the representative of an ultra-Orthodox tendency recognising asceticism as the basis for leading a true life. His teachings are contained in the three-part work entitled Divrei Chaim, which may be translated in two ways: 'the Words of Chaim' or 'Stories of Life'. The best known fact about the life and teachings of Halberstam is his lengthy dispute with another great tzaddik, Izrael Friedmann from Sadogora near Czerniowce (Chernovitz). Friedmann lived in unusual splendour in a palace, which greatly irritated the leader from Nowy Sacz, who accused him of extravagance and ignorance. In reply to these accusations one of Friedmann's sons, the tzaddik Dov Ber from Leow (Moldova), true to the Haskalah, stated that the Chasidic belief in the supernatural power of the tzaddik was fraudulent. The centre in Sadogora itself intervened, admitting that Dov Ber was insane. This incident, however, so incensed Halberstam that he put a cherem (curse) on the dynasty from Sadogora, which before long replied in kind. It was the most serious conflict within Judaism at that time.
