... With the death of Dr. Aron Youchnovetzky
in March 1977, the committee came to a virtual
standstill. At the same time, the late Wolf Babicz
was already quite ill and a number of other active
Bialystokers ceased their work because of old age
and illness. We may be proud of the thirty-two
years — 1945 to 1977 — during which our com-
mittee made a major contribution to advance the
Bialystoker Jewish community throughout the
world. We did everything possible to commemo-
rate our sacred heritage and to carry on the
humanitarian legacy of our beloved birthplace.Connected nodes
