"DĄBROWA REBORN FROM ITS ASHES"
Plaques with unique archival photos
show the scale of the destruction of the city by the German occupier in 1941. On the other hand, the
photographs of contemporary Dąbrowa show the determination with which the inhabitants rebuilt the
city, literally "from the ashes and rubble".
One
of the plaques is devoted to the history of the Jews of Dąbrowa. It is a kind of crowning
achievement of Dorota Budzińska's several years of work on restoring the memory of the inhabitants
who are not there.
The plaque was probably placed
in the area of the old Jewish cemetery. It contains the history of the Jewish community in Dąbrowa
Białostocka, a lot of interesting, archival photos, and in the background - paintings by Mark Podwal, a descendant of Dąbrowa Jews.
The money
for this purpose was obtained from a grant from the Forum for Dialogue, with the support of the
commune of Dąbrowa Białostocka and the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
