Mikvah discovered in basement of former strip club in Poland – The Jewish population of Chmielnik, Poland, was decimated in the Holocaust, but the town’s mikvah still stands. | Israel National News
Before the Holocaust, the population of the town of Chmielnik, Poland, was around 80% Jewish. Sephardic Jews, having been expelled from Spain during the Inquisition, settled in Chmielnik and eventually built a synagogue in 1638.
After the war, only four Jews remained.
Today, the building houses a museum of the town’s Jewish life and history. Now another Jewish heritage site has been discovered, in an unlikely place.
