Dov Bar's Volchin
Water Wells
As shown on
Shmuel Englander's Map
, there were two water wells in Volchin: One in the
main (market) square
and another southeast of the Jewish Cemetery, near the homes of Alter Bach and
Avraham Kupershmit
.
There was [in addition] another one near the brick
syngagogue
[see 1997 photo,
here
]. During the war, the synagogue and its nearby well were within the
Ghetto
.
One drew water from each by means of a pail on a rope.
My great grandfather,
Meir Shevach Stavsky
--who was visiting from
Wysokie Litewskie
-- fell into the well in
the main (market) square
.
Editor's Notes: Shmuel Englander's map fails to show the well near the synagogue.
