Empty space

Today, the descendants of the Sztutman family arrived to Sokołów. They said Kadish at the Jewish cemetery. They visited the town, the Big Market Square, the place where was the synagogue, the house of rabbi Morgenstern.

Their family home was located at 10 Wilczyńskiego Street. When we got there, it turned out that there is a house at number 8 and a house at number 12. And between them is an empty square where was the house with number 10 ...

The whole family stood in this place to take a picture. It's so symbolic - empty space is a symbol of the absence of the Jewish community in our town...

  1. My father's house was at 9 Rogowska (Wilczyńskiego)street so were the Sztutman's neighbors.
    How can I contact them?
    Thanks

  2. Dear Katarzyna,
    On behalf of our entire family, I would like to thank you for your kind support - you guided us through the town of our family, and helped us find all the relevant places. I wish there were more people like you.
