During WWII the Germans made Izbica the largest transit ghetto in the Lublin district under Operation Reinhard, a holding point for deportation to Bełżec and Sobibór; tens of thousands of Polish, German, Austrian and Czech Jews passed through. Of a prewar population over 5,000, only about 14 survived. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Izbica, Wikipedia — Izbica Ghetto, JewishGen</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Chana Ruchla Stajnzalc (b.1848)]] | Born 1848 | | [[Aron Lejb Stajnzalc (b.1850)]] | Born 1850 | | [[Frajda Strol (d.1853)]] | Died 1853 | | [[Jankiel Ber Stajnzalc (b.1853)]] | Born 1853 | | [[Abram Berek Stajnzalc (d.1874)]] | Died 1874 | | [[Sylka Rozen (b.1875)]] | Born ~1875 | | [[Chana Tema Fligelman (b.1890)]] | Born 1890 | | [[Aron Rotkier (b.1818)]] | Died 09/14/1893 | | [[Aron Lejb Rotkier (b.1894)]] | Born 01/09/1894 | | [[Chaim Dawid Zaller (b.1896)]] | Born 1896 | | [[Cypa Rotkier (b.1897)]] | Born 1897 | | [[Ryfka Golda Rotkier (b.1899)]] | Born 1899 | | [[Moszek Rotkier (b.1901)]] | Born 1901 | | [[Chaim Rotkier (b.1903)]] | Born 1903, Died 1904 | | [[Abram Rotkier (b.1917)]] | Born 1917 | | [[Cwi Rotkier (b.1922)]] | Born 1922–1930 | | [[Hinda Tauba Lemnel]] | Born |
