In my opinion Jews in Bielsko made up more or less 20 percent. There were fewer Germans, if I'm not wrong, that would have been about 15 percent. Just in Bielsko, because Bielsko was separate and Biala was separate. There was just this bridge linking the two towns, or rather dividing them, and not linking. Cracow province - Biala, and Bielsko - Silesia province. [Editor's note: at present Bielsko-Biala; in 1922 Bielsko became part of the newly created autonomous Silesian province, and Biala was part of the Cracow province. In 1951 the two towns were joined, creating Bielsko- Biala].
