**Bialystok 2005**

Memorial to the destruction of the
great synagogue.
This sculpture was inspired by the condition of the framework of the
synagogue's dome that was destroyed by fire at the hand of the Nazis.
Some are mistaken in thinking that it is the actual frame distorted by the intense heat of the fire. Over one thousand Jews perished in the
blaze.
 

Inscription on the memorial that
commemorates the destruction of the great synagogue

Lucy Lisowska and Chris Malczewski.
Lucy is one of the very few members of the Jewish community in Bialystok and plays an important role in
representing the rights and needs of Jews to the local government and Church. She is deeply involved in the restoration efforts at the Jewish cemetery. Chris is Jewish Records Indexing-Poland's man on the ground. He is a fine guide and investigator.
