In 1942 the Germans deported the town's Jews to Treblinka (a deportation of ~3,000 on 19 Aug 1942, ~2,000 dying in transport, then further deportations and shootings in October); several thousand fled to the forests, where most were killed. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Parczew, Encyclopedia.com — Parczew</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Herszek Szyfman (b.1842)]] | Born ~1842 | | [[Hinda Feferkoren (b.1862)]] | Born 09/17/1862 | | [[Josef Joel Kaufman (b.1863)]] | Born 02/01/1863 | | [[Frajda Laja Migdal (b.1877)]] | Born 03/16/1877 | | [[Moszek Edelstein (b.1899)]] | Born 12/28/1899 | | [[Jankiel Edelsztajn (b.1900)]] | Born 1900 | | [[Max Feld (b.1901)]] | Born 03/10/1901 | | [[Rachel Edelsztajn (b.1904)]] | Born 03/04/1904 | | [[Brenda Edelsztajn (b.1905)]] | Born 1905–1913 | | [[Jankiel Rozengarten (b.1906)]] | Born ~1906 | | [[Clara Edelsztajn (b.1906)]] | Born 09/15/1906 | | [[Harry Edelstein (b.1912)]] | Born 1912 | | [[Samuel Edelstein (b.1914)]] | Born 08/08/1914 | | [[Rachel Edelsztajn]] | Born |
