It is a rural locality without a separately documented Jewish community of its own; Jews of the immediate area belonged to the kehilla of nearby **[[Bełżyce]]**, which had a large pre-war Jewish population and was destroyed in the Holocaust. Records naming Skrzyniec should therefore be read together with the Bełżyce community history. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Skrzyniec, Lublin Voivodeship, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrzyniec,_Lublin_Voivodeship ; Wikipedia — Gmina Bełżyce, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmina_Be%C5%82%C5%BCyce</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Malka Szmirman (b.1821)]] | Born ~1821 | | [[Majer Szmirman (b.1841)]] | Born 12/27/1841 | | [[Laja Weitz (b.1848)]] | Born ~1848 | | [[Boruch Wolw Tenenbaum (b.1848)]] | Born 03/14/1848, Died 03/27/1848 | | [[Abram Motek Lax (b.1868)]] | Born 09/14/1868 |
