In the interwar period ~5,600 Jews lived there (more than half the population). After Sept 1939 the community was deported in stages during 1942 to the nearby Bełżec extermination camp, including the final liquidation of the open ghetto on 27 Oct 1942, with remaining Jews shot at the local cemetery. This is the home of the Barbanel Tomaszów branch. <small>Sources: Virtual Shtetl — Tomaszów Lubelski, Holocaust Historical Society, Wikipedia — Tomaszów Lubelski</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Glika Rajs (b.1785)]] | Born ~1785 | | [[Dawid Morgensztern (b.1809)]] | Born 1809 | | [[Froim Szloma Zylberberg (b.1826)]] | Born 1826, Died 1903 | | [[Chana Ryfka Torm (b.1846)]] | Born ~1846 | | [[Frajda Ferszt (b.1850)]] | Born ~1850 | | [[Mordko Josef Mendlewicz (b.1854)]] | Born 1854 | | [[Brajna Barbanel (b.1864)]] | Born 02/05/1864 | | [[Czarna Sobol (b.1870)]] | Born 1870–1884, Died 06/11/1908 | | [[Mordko Josef Barbanel (b.1871)]] | Born 1871 | | [[Hinda Farcajg (b.1872)]] | Born 02/08/1872 | | [[Dobra Barbanel (b.1882)]] | Born ~1882 | | [[Zlota Sobol (b.1887)]] | Born ~1887 | | [[Abram Jankel Barbanel (b.1894)]] | Born 09/10/1894 | | [[Wolf Barbanel (b.1899)]] | Born 1899, Died 1901 | | [[Mala Cywia Barbanel (b.1901)]] | Born 09/10/1901, Died 1902 | | [[Lejwa Icko Barbanel (b.1842)]] | Died 11/12/1901 | | [[Fiszel Dawid Barbanel (b.1903)]] | Born 07/27/1903 | | [[Chana Barbanel (b.1915)]] | Born 1915 | | [[Estera Mala Barbanel (b.1917)]] | Born 1917 | | [[Majer Barbanel (b.1918)]] | Born 1918 | | [[Chaim Chaskel Lichtenstein (b.1922)]] | Died 1940 | | [[Boruch Wajsrubin (b.1912)]] | Died 09/15/1940 |
