| Honorary
Citizen
2001-05-09
We had a pleasure to take part in ceremony organised
in the Museum of Tykocin, where the title of Honorary
Citizen was given to Mr Abram Kapica. Mr Kapica is one
of the few Jews who survived nazi’s extermination in
1941. Mr Kapica’s grandson, who arrived to Tykocin with
a group of his school friends, received the title in
the name of his grandfather. It was a great occasion
for us to meet Israeli youth and to discuss with them.
After meeting we came together to visit and pray at
the place of martyrdom of Tykocin Jews.

In this beautiful town, where for centuries
Jews were the minority, we were guests of Mrs Ewa Wroczyńska,
director of Museum in Tykocin (Branch of Podlaskie Museum).
Museum is located in Great Synagogue building, one of
the most precious Jewish architecture monument in Poland.
Mrs Wroczyńska presented a very interesting lecture
titled "History of Tykocin Jews" and showed
us a part of Museum’s collection. |
