Description
Recounts the transition of the city of Bialystok from a pre-war thriving Jewish centre in Eastern Poland to a virtual ghost town . This was accelerated by the creation of wartime ghettos, mass deportations, the pogrom in 1946, mass emigrations from the city with the arrival of communist rule, and the state-sponsored anti-semitic campaign in Poland in 1968.
