... On August 21-22, 1949, the sixth anniversary of the Bialystok ghetto’s liquidation, 277 delegates from /ands- manschaften in the United States, Canada and twelve other countries attended a convention called by the Bia- lystoker Center in New York. The conclave concluded with the decision to establish Kiryat Bialystok in Israel. ...

... rect in our Jewish homeland a living memorial to our birthplace, Bialystok. Let its successor in Israel resurrect everything that was dear to us. Let Kiryat Bialystok also become the home of those who miraculously survived: heroic Bialystoker partisans, former soldiers in the Red and Polish armies, who fought against the bloody Nazis for the glory of the Jewish people. Those who endured the German concen- tration camps, a true hell on earth, and Bialystokers all over the world who wish to make Kiryat Bialystok their new home will join them. In this village, we unite with other Jews seeking freedom and independence. We who lost beloved relatives and friends cherish the massive relief efforts the Bialystoker Center in New York has launched, enabling refugees to emigrate to Australia, Israel and other havens. We are confident you will help found a new Bialystok in the Jewish homeland. ...

It is our obligation to uphold its ideals, her- itage and aspirations in America and other countries where Bialystokers live. Let us pledge to fulfill this sacred responsibility that our martyred families passed on to us. ...

... Our landsmanschaft was unable to publish this book earlier, as planned. At the 1970 Bialystoker world convention in Israel, it was decided to issue a memorial book as soon as possible. In the following years, our Center in New York carried on negotiations with our counterparts in Israel to prepare and issue the book jointly. Regrettably, this attempt at collaboration failed. ...
