... (Editor’s note: Following World War II, surviving men,
women and children from Bialystok arrived in Israel
amid great difficulty. They, together with /andsleit who
had settled in Palestine years earlier, established a Bia-
lystoker community in the Holy Land, which demon-
strated their determination to perpetuate the legacy of
their beloved hometown. Kiryat Bialystok (village of
Bialystok) won’ the immediate support of the Bualy-
stoker Center in New York, landsleit in other American
and Canadian cities, and throughout the world. Thanks
to this enthusiastic backing, Kiryat Bialystok became a
reality. Following are excerpts from the first letter writ-
ten by Bialystokers in Israel in 1948, shortly after the
establishment of the State, to their counterparts in
America about building Kiryat Bialystok.) ...Source passage 4

... Later on, we built a community in Israel, Kiryat
Bialystok, which carried the name of our beloved
hometown destroyed by Hitler. For this reason, the late
David Sohn convened a world conference in 1949 in
New York, attended by representatives of Bialystoker
organizations throughout the world. The delegate from
Israel was Zvi Klementynowski. At the convention, the
Kiryat Bialystok Foundation was formed, headed by
the late Ralph Wein. Simultaneously in Israel, a Kiryat
Bialystok committee was organized, whose members
included the following leaders of our Center: Zalman
Yerushalmi, Zvi Klementynowski, the late Mordechaj
Krugliak and others. ...Connected nodes
