    Bialystok – That Which is No More (Barbican Mission Church)

    Another in the “That Which is No More” series which are located around Bialystok, this is a photo of the Barbican Mission Church from 1937. The church was built between 1927 and 1930 and it was designed to convert Jews to Christianity, something which seems to have been not uncommon in this part of the country.

    And here’s what is here now, or at least, this is where the sign is. The building also seems to have been known as the Anglican Mission Church, although I’m unsure of when it was demolished.

    Bialystok – That Which is No More (The Zaludowski’s House)

    I know nothing more about this project, other than it’s a reminder of what was once here in Bialystok that no longer stands. There was a large Jewish population in Bialystok before the Second World War, and its decimation meant much inevitably changed, let alone all the other upheaval which took place in the post-war city. The above photo was taken in 1929, but the only downside is that I can’t locate at the moment any more information about this building.

    I think that this is the area today, but there are no anchors to really pin down where the property once stood.
