The Jewish Culture Trail ? Czestochowska Street
The house number 49 in Cz?stochowska Street is a place where P?aczek family was hiding Zborowski family during the Nazi occupation. Maria and Josef P?aczek risked their own lives and their daughter?s life in order to save Eli Zborowski who after the World War II has lived in New York and has become the leader of American and International Societies for Yad Vashem. The P?aczek family were given the title and the medal The Just among the Nations of the World. There are many more families that helped their Jewish neighbours during the war although they could have been severely punished by Nazis and only very few tarnished their reputation. In St Barbara?s Street there was a butcher?s in the interwar period. The kosher butchering took place in its eastern part whilst animals for Christians were killed in the west of the butcher?s. At present, there is a joiner?s shop. The Jewish religious community, that existed in Zarki since 17th century, had to respect and follow all traditions and customs which were supervised by the synagogue. The synagogue supervisors were in charge of administration and court of justice for the Jewish society. Zarki Jewish community consisted of 20 local places. In the interwar period maintained two synagogues, the secondary school, the library (6 thousand volumes were given by Abraham Josef Sztybel, a famous heraldry expert for New York who was born in Zarki), the ritual bath, the butcher?s, the shelter and hostel for the poor Jews.
