First mentioned in 1450 and holding town rights until 1869, it had a Jewish cemetery established in the first half of the 19th century with an ohel of an unidentified rabbi (last burial 1944); in 1921 its 556 Jews made up about 24.6% of the population. During the German occupation Jews from elsewhere were resettled into Kamionka (250 in April 1942), and in October 1942 the local Jews were transferred to the Lubartów ghetto and from there deported to the Bełżec extermination camp. <small>Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamionka,_Lubart%C3%B3w_County, https://cdp.jewishgen.org/eastern-europe/poland/kamionka</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Jankiel Ciechanowski (b.1858)]] | Born 1858 | | [[Ruchla Laja Cechanowska (b.1878)]] | Born 05/05/1878 | | [[Rozja Wulman (b.1885)]] | Born ~1885 | | [[Gitla Huberman (b.1896)]] | Born 07/13/1896 | | [[Icek Wolf Ciechanowski (b.1902)]] | Born 1902 | | [[Zlota Dwojra Balter (b.1833)]] | Died 08/08/1911 | | [[Dawid Farbiash (d.1942)]] | Born |
