It suffered in the Swedish Deluge (1655) and a Tatar raid (1670) and was deprived of town rights on 13 January 1870. A Jewish community present from at least the late 17th century (543 Jews, ≈37%, in 1897) maintained a synagogue, beth midrash, mikveh and two cemeteries; in February 1942 about 600 Jews were deported to Bełżec, with others to Majdanek, destroying the community. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Biskupice, Lublin Voivodeship, Virtual Shtetl — Biskupice</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Szmul Rubinsztejn (b.1811)]] | Born 1811 | | [[Joyna Rubinsztejn (b.1813)]] | Born 1813, Died 1892 | | [[Jite Susman (b.1824)]] | Born ~1824 | | [[Chaja Susman (b.1828)]] | Born 07/17/1828 | | [[Judka Rozenblum (b.1831)]] | Born ~1831 | | [[Fajga Susman (b.1831)]] | Born ~1831 | | [[Laja Spitz (b.1836)]] | Born 1836 | | [[Jides Susman (b.1839)]] | Born 1839 | | [[Szmul Hersz Spitz (b.1840)]] | Born ~1840 | | [[Fawel Nachman (b.1841)]] | Born ~1841, Died 1873 | | [[Etta Szefler (b.1841)]] | Born 1841 | | [[Dyna Susman (b.1842)]] | Born 1842, Died 1867 | | [[Rachmil Spitz (b.1843)]] | Born 1843 | | [[Fajga Dyna Spitz (b.1844)]] | Born 1844 | | [[Pesa Susman (b.1844)]] | Born 1844 | | [[Frajda Salz (b.1845)]] | Born 1845 | | [[Blima Spitz (b.1847)]] | Born 1847, Died 1868 | | [[Dyna Perla Salz (b.1848)]] | Born 1848, Died 1848 | | [[Elka Dyna Brafman (b.1848)]] | Born 08/05/1848 | | [[Jankiel Honigman (b.1849)]] | Born 1849 | | [[Perla Pesla (b.1849)]] | Born ~1849 | | [[Sura Ryfka Brafman (b.1850)]] | Born 1850 | | [[Sura Rywka Salz (b.1850)]] | Born 1850, Died 1892 | | [[Gnendla Blusztajn (b.1852)]] | Born 1852 | | [[Gnendla Spitz (b.1852)]] | Born 1852 | | [[Ruchla Susman (b.1852)]] | Born 1852 | | [[Dawid Herszek Susman (b.1847)]] | Died 07/15/1853 | | [[Abram Hersz Brafman (b.1854)]] | Born 1854 | | [[Nusyn Spitz (b.1855)]] | Born 1855, Died 1859 | | [[Lejbusa Rozenblum (d.1857)]] | Died 1857 | | [[Tauba (b.1817)]] | Died 1857 | | [[Aron Nusyn Rubinsztejn (b.1858)]] | Born 1858 | | [[Fajga Rozenblum (b.1859)]] | Born 1859 | | [[Herszek Alszpektor (b.1859)]] | Born 03/10/1859 | | [[Gnendla Brafman (b.1860)]] | Born 1860 | | [[Mordka Rozenblum (b.1860)]] | Born 1860 | | [[Frajda Tema Spitz (b.1860)]] | Born 1860, Died 1863 | | [[Golda Nachman (b.1862)]] | Born 1862, Died 1863 | | [[Boruch Brafman (b.1864)]] | Born 1864 | | [[Abram Alszpektor (b.1864)]] | Born 03/06/1864 | | [[Tema Cywia Fligelman (b.1866)]] | Born 1866 | | [[Herszek Nachman (b.1866)]] | Born 1866 | | [[Kopel Dawid Ehrlich (b.1868)]] | Born 1868, Died 01/06/1896 | | [[Aron Fligelman (b.1868)]] | Born 1868 | | [[Hendla Rozenblum (b.1868)]] | Born 1868 | | [[Szmul Rozenblum (b.1868)]] | Born 1868 | | [[Aron Susman (b.1773)]] | Died 01/25/1868 | | [[Tauba Dyna Rosenberg (b.1868)]] | Born 02/25/1868 | | [[Fajga Dyna Alszpektor (b.1868)]] | Born 07/21/1868 | | [[Szajndla Rozenblum (b.1870)]] | Born 1870 | | [[Chana Rotkier (b.1873)]] | Born ~1873 | | [[Cypa Rozenblum (b.1873)]] | Born 1873 | | [[Chana Sura Susman (b.1816)]] | Died 1873 | | [[Gnendla Globen (b.1874)]] | Born 1874, Died 1881 | | [[Chaja Sura Susman (b.1838)]] | Died 1874 | | [[Hinda Ryfka Susman (b.1829)]] | Died 1874 | | [[Jankiel Lejb Brafman (b.1826)]] | Died 1875 | | [[Herszek Salz (b.1820)]] | Died 1875 | | [[Chana Sura Spitz (b.1876)]] | Born 1876 | | [[Srul Gersz Globen (b.1877)]] | Born 1877, Died 1881 | | [[Zelda Globen (b.1880)]] | Born 1880, Died 1886 | | [[Dwojra Globen (b.1883)]] | Born 1883 | | [[Josef Globen (b.1883)]] | Born 1883 | | [[Szandla Sztypel (b.1883)]] | Born 1883 | | [[Ruchla Globen (b.1888)]] | Born 1888 | | [[Szmuel Szraga Fajwel Nachman (b.1893)]] | Born 1893 |
