	History of Tykocin - a former shtetel in Poland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Tykocin is on the river Narew in the province of Bialystok in northeastern Poland and is east of the former Nazi extermination camp at Treblinka, just before you get to Bialystok, which is the closest large town, 40 kilometers to the east.
		Tykocin used to be an important trade center and at one time, the whole town was owned by King Zygmunt August, who acquired it from a noble Polish family in 1548.
		Tykocin looks the same as it did before World War II, according to my tour guide, and probably much the same as it did in the 17th century, except that there are no Jewish people living in the town now.

		Tykocin was hard hit by wars with Sweden in the 1650s and at the beginning of the 18th century, but in the course of time the city was rebuilt, and resumed its place as an important commercial center of the region.
		Burgers of Tykocin made use of the blood libel as an excuse to organize riots against the Jews of the town, who were even threatened with expulsion from Tykocin, although this was not actually implemented.
		The Tykocin synagogue was built in 1642, and it is considered one of the most beautiful of the synagogues of Poland, distinguished by its simplicity and the harmony of its elements.
