... The public bath, which the municipality of Bialy-
stok had sponsored, became the domain of the State.
As a result, the mikvah, which had been part of the
public bath, was liquidated. The leaders of the carpen-
try cooperative succeeded in raising enough funds to
build a new mikvah in the home of one of their
members. Not only did the residents of Bialystok use
this new facility, but Jews from surrounding communi-
ties did so as well. ...Connected nodes
