It had a large Jewish community — 2,623 Jews in 1897 and 3,269 (53.6%) in 1921. Under occupation the Jews were ghettoized in 1941; in October 1942 the ghetto was liquidated and the community deported, with about 300 shot in the Jewish cemetery and further executions in January 1943, leaving only ~40 survivors. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Lubartów, JewishGen — Lubartów</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Boruch Wajsrubin (b.1799)]] | Born ~1799 | | [[Gitla Laja (b.1799)]] | Born ~1799 | | [[Fiszel Grinberg (b.1806)]] | Born 1806 | | [[Herszek Grinberg (b.1808)]] | Born ~1808 | | [[Blima Sura Elsteyn (b.1810)]] | Born 1810 | | [[Ides Kaufman (b.1829)]] | Born 05/23/1829 | | [[Ela Kaufman (b.1833)]] | Born 06/01/1833 | | [[Eta Dreyzla Kaufman (b.1835)]] | Born 01/02/1835, Died 1836 | | [[Tauba Rajzla Kaufman (b.1837)]] | Born 01/01/1837 | | [[Szprynca Kaufman (b.1839)]] | Born 1839 | | [[Nachman Kaufman (b.1842)]] | Born 07/07/1842 | | [[Ela Eta (b.1845)]] | Born 1845 | | [[Hinda Drajzla Kaufman (b.1849)]] | Born 1849 | | [[Bajla Minka Kaufman (b.1850)]] | Born 1850 | | [[Cwetla Kaufman (b.1852)]] | Born 05/25/1852 | | [[Chawa Wajsrubin (b.1859)]] | Born 1859 | | [[Sender Szper (b.1862)]] | Born ~1862 | | [[Hinda Bluma Wajsrubin (b.1864)]] | Born 1864 | | [[PLACEHOLDER Mordko Szmul Lax (b.1865)]] | Born 03/29/1865 | | [[Szmul Szloma Wajsrubin (b.1866)]] | Born 1866 | | [[Maryia Brandfajn (b.1867)]] | Born 1867 | | [[Hersz Majer Barbanel (b.1872)]] | Born 04/13/1872 | | [[Beniamin Kaufman (b.1872)]] | Born 05/15/1872 | | [[Mordko Majer Kaufman (b.1791)]] | Died 11/16/1875 | | [[Pinkwas Hasfogiel (b.1877)]] | Born 1877 | | [[Mordko Majer Kaufman (b.1877)]] | Born 02/18/1877 | | [[Mordko Majer Kaufman (b.1877) (2)]] | Born 09/03/1877 | | [[Mordko Josef Wajnrajch (b.1878)]] | Born 05/13/1878 | | [[Rajzla Wajnberg (b.1881)]] | Born 1881 | | [[Abram Halperin (b.1883)]] | Born 1883 | | [[Hinda Kaufman (b.1883)]] | Born 01/13/1883 | | [[Jochweta Kaufman (b.1888)]] | Born 12/20/1888 | | [[Beniamin Josef Lax (b.1892)]] | Born ~1892 | | [[Etla Adele Hekier (b.1898)]] | Born 12/30/1898 | | [[Leon Pearlstein (b.1903)]] | Born 10/12/1903 | | [[Syma Rozengarten (b.1908)]] | Born ~1908 | | [[Joel Halperin (b.1911)]] | Born 1911 | | [[Abraham Icek Rozengarten (b.1912)]] | Born 12/25/1912 | | [[Chana Aychencwajg (b.1913)]] | Born 10/10/1913 | | [[Jankiel Halperin (b.1914)]] | Born 1914 | | [[Jenta Rozengarten (b.1915)]] | Born ~1915 | | [[Gitla Halperin (b.1916)]] | Born 1916 | | [[Dawid Dan Halperin (b.1920)]] | Born 03/12/1920 | | [[Szloma Halperin (b.1923)]] | Born 1923 |
