Dziedzictwo żydowskie Białegostoku i możliwości jego wykorzystania w turystyce
Jewish heritage of Białystok and the possibilities of its use in tourism

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the possibilities of using the Białystok Jewish heritage in tourism. Conclusions come from field studies - inventory, own observations and photographic documentation. The Jewish heritage is visible mainly through the presence in the urban tissue of secular (41) and sacred (9) objects, which are shown on two maps. In addition, there are tourist routes on which you can find objects related to the Jews. Some of the objects are revitalized and bear information boards but some of them are falling into disrepair. Some of them have been adapted to perform new functions - a museum, a shopping gallery or a residential building. The Jewish culture is also visible in the activities of Jewish organizations like Center for Civic Education Poland-Israel or the Jewish Religious Community. One of the most famous Jewish festivals is organized in the city - "Zachor - Color and Sound". It seems that cultural, sentimental and festival tourism can develop in the city.
