Traces of the past

 There used to be a mikveh (religious bath) in this place. I heard rumors that the Germans killed Jewish policemen in this place during the war, but I have not found confirmation of this information in the archives. Today a new apartment block is being built here. 

Fewer and fewer traces of Sokołów's Jewish past.

Old mikva

1940s. The old mikva, or Jewish bathhouse. After Sokolow ghetto’s liquidation, the building was taken into Polish hands and demolished in 1949.
2009. Today, is home to the PSS, a community-owned cooperative grocery.
