One of the monuments of the Jewish community once living in Zabłocie, a district of Żywiec is an old nineteenth-century cemetery. Among about 500 tombstones (stelae), there are some true masterpieces of stonework. In the early twentieth century the local Jewish community numbered about 1,800 people, and Zabłocie became a little Jewish town with its own synagogue, a school and a number of industrial plants, including the famous paper mill "Solali".
