What Was Where
(left) The map marks the former locations of some of the old Jewish buildings which still survive around the Zolynia Centre area. The blue area is the large pond which is also marked on maps in the Geography section of this site.
The Mikvah or Ritual Baths (right)
The building was designed so that water flowed from the pond without the aid of mechanical parts. Today this building houses a kindergarten.

Another Building of the Jewish Community (left)
This building near the rabbi's home above, photographed in the 1960s, is believed to have been owned by the Jewish community. It's purpose is not remembered. Just after the war it served as a high school boys' dormitory and was demolished in the 1970. Today the site is still a vacant lot.
