释义 | Białystok Poland city, capital of Podlaskie województwo (province), northeastern Poland. It is located in the undulating Podlasie Plain. ![]() Białystok was a major centre of Polish Jewry (Jew). At the onset of World War II, the city had a population of 100,000, of whom about 40,000 were Jews; but in 1941–44 the Germans (Holocaust) killed half the inhabitants, including all the Jews in the ghetto, and destroyed three-fourths of the industry and buildings. Belarusians are now the city's principal ethnic minority. After the war Białystok was rebuilt and became an industrial and cultural centre and a major rail junction. Textiles are the chief product. Other industry includes meat processing; electronics, furniture, and glass manufacturing; and metallurgical works. The Branicki palace, restored after it was burned down by the Germans in 1944, houses an academy of medicine; there is also a technical university, the University of Białystok, and a regional museum.
