BIELSKO-BIALA:
Jewish Community in Bielsko-Biala, Poland Department of Documentation and History gwz@bb.onet.pl
    http://www.home.art.pl/proszyk/about.htm   Information on the book Jewish Cemetery in Bielsko-Biala by Jacek Proszyk. "It depicts the history of two Jewish cemeteries: one at Cieszyñska Street in Bielsko, and the other, no longer in existence, at Wyzwolenia Street in Biala. (Bielsko-Biala was once two towns: Bielsko and Biala.) ...The war did not spare the cemetery, either, which fell victim to thievery. A great number of gravestones were stolen, especially from the oldest sector, family vaults, and the Aleja Zastuzonych (Alley of the Men of Merit) - Bielsko's honorary citizen Salomon Pollak, architect Karol Korn, the first Bielsko rabbis Lazar Frankfurter and Lesser Wolf, bibliophile and collector Salomon Halberstam whose fame spread all over Europe, city councillor dr. Siegmund Markusfeld, cantor Ignacy Goldmann, prof. Michael Berkowicz - these and many other distinguished individuals all had their gravestones stolen. "

BISHTANIE: Zakarpatia region
I have no community details except that the famous Rabbi Mordechai of Nadvorna (founder of the Nadvorna Histadut) lived and was buried there. It is a mid-size town, not village but not a big city. I assume that there are some Jews living there. The cemetery is located in the backyard of a private house, surrounded with walls. The 250-350 tombstones date from the 19th century to 1975. The condition is good. In a big locked "ohel" is the grave of Rabbi Mordechai from Nadvorna, his son Rabbi Israel Yaakov from Khust and his wife and other 2 graves. As I saw many remains of candles and "Pitkaot", it seems that big groups (I assume of the Nadvorna Hassidim) visit the place regularly. I assume that they are supporting the caretaker family. The Hebrew inscribed tombstones are traditional. The place is about 300x100 meters. I visited 2 September, 1998. Source: shalomfuchs@hotmail.com
