Its Baroque Great Synagogue (Paolo Fontana, 1764–74) survives with the Small Synagogue and kahal building as a Jewish museum. By 1939 Jews were ~5,600 (~60%); deportations from spring 1942 sent most to the nearby Sobibór extermination camp. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Włodawa, Wikipedia — Włodawa Synagogue, Virtual Shtetl, JewishGen Yizkor</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Szmul Szacki (d.1833)]] | Died 1833 | | [[Ruchla Klejn (b.1834)]] | Born ~1834 | | [[Mordko Josef Liberman (b.1870)]] | Born ~1870 | | [[Dawid Glincman (b.1872)]] | Born ~1872 | | [[Moszko Barbanel (b.1897)]] | Born 01/01/1897 | | [[Israel Glincman (b.1900)]] | Born ~1900 | | [[Joseph Glincman (b.1900)]] | Born ~1900 | | [[Tyla Glincman (b.1900)]] | Born ~1900 | | [[Arje Lejbus Glincman (b.1902)]] | Born 1902 | | [[Szmul Barbanel (b.1905)]] | Born 1905 | | [[Icko Barbanel (b.1905)]] | Born 06/28/1905 | | [[Symcha Binem Barbanel (b.1909)]] | Born 02/21/1909 | | [[Estra Gelja Barbanel (d.1909)]] | Died 08/16/1909 | | [[Fajga Barbanel (b.1912)]] | Born 05/17/1912 | | [[Zelda Barbanel (b.1914)]] | Born 03/28/1914 | | [[Jack Glincman (b.1916)]] | Born 03/01/1916 | | [[Perla Barbanel (b.1930)]] | Born 07/24/1930 | | [[Szymszon Barbanel (b.1937)]] | Born 03/07/1937 |
