The Jewish Culture Trail ? Characteristic Town-planning
(um)
The Jewish Culture Trail ? Characteristic town-planning The centre of the town around the Old Square and all neighbouring streets were places where the most Jews lived. In Koscielna street we can see a characteristic compact settlement. In the interwar period there were a lot of small shops and workshops that belonged to the Jews. There are still a few authentic buildings that architecture style: houses number 3 and 5 in Lesniowska Street and houses number 1 and 3 in Myszkowska street. The town was famous for St Stanislaw?s Fairs that took place from 1 till 9 May in the centre of the town. The Old Square and the near big square became a market place as trade and marketing were the main sources of income, especially for the Jews. The Fairs have survived till the present day and they take place every Wednesday and Saturday. The basic kinds of work for the Jews were handicraft, trade and service. The most popular crafts were: shoemaking and tailoring, the tanning industry and furriery. In the interwar period there lived a furrier who put the pieces of leather in such a way that he ?wrote? the client?s name on a fur coat. Before the World War II there were fifteen bakeries in Zarki
