Under interwar Poland it was a leading Jewish center. After the German occupation in 1941 the community was confined to a ghetto and the nearby Janowska camp, and the vast majority were murdered, many deported to Bełżec. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Lviv, YIVO — Lviv, Gesher Galicia, Virtual Shtetl</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Mordechai Yechiel Schrentzel (b.1560)]] | Born ~1560, Died 1616 | | [[Lipsha Schrentzel (b.1590)]] | Born 1590 | | [[Rivka Katz (b.1555)]] | Died ~1637 | | [[Efraim Fischel Fisheles (b.1594)]] | Died 1653 | | [[Tzvi Hersh Landau Falk (d.1719)]] | Died 08/04/1719 | | [[Leiser Samuel Felix (b.1811)]] | Born 1811 | | [[Felix (b.1813)]] | Born 1813 | | [[Shmuel Seinwel Felix (b.1816)]] | Born 03/11/1816, Died 1861 | | [[Unknown Felix (b.1818)]] | Died 1818 | | [[Isaak Felix (b.1819)]] | Born 07/07/1819, Died 1878 | | [[Scheindel Felix (b.1820)]] | Born 1820 | | [[Benzieen Felix (b.1821)]] | Born 08/08/1821, Died 1822 | | [[Rifke Felix (b.1822)]] | Born 1822 | | [[Chaim Felix (b.1824)]] | Born 09/12/1824 | | [[Moses Mayer Felix (b.1827)]] | Born 03/1827 | | [[Jacob Salomon Felix (b.1829)]] | Born 03/04/1829 | | [[Basche Felix (b.1840)]] | Died 1842 | | [[Schepsel Schneid (b.1846)]] | Born 7 March 1846 | | [[Aleksander Lichtenheim (b.1848)]] | Born ~1848 | | [[Basche Felix (b.1850)]] | Born 1850 | | [[Mendel Felix (b.1846)]] | Died 1850 | | [[Meyer Felix (b.1850)]] | Born 1850, Died 1852 | | [[Itzig Felix (b.1851)]] | Died 1852 | | [[Samuel Suss (b.1853)]] | Born 1853 | | [[Sara Felix (b.1853)]] | Born 1853, Died 1857 | | [[Herman Felix (b.1853)]] | Born 12/31/1853 | | [[Adolf Felix (b.1855)]] | Born 1855 | | [[Zvi Hirsch Chajes (b.1805)]] | Died 10/12/1855 | | [[Leib Felix (b.1856)]] | Born 1856, Died 1856 | | [[Leon Felix (b.1856)]] | Born 1856 | | [[Rifke Brenner (b.1857)]] | Born 1857 | | [[Joel Felix (b.1857)]] | Born 1857 | | [[Leiser Felix (b.1858)]] | Born 1858, Died 1859 | | [[Nissen Felix (b.1860)]] | Born 1860 | | [[Ruchel Felix (b.1860)]] | Born 1860 | | [[Mattel Felix (b.1862)]] | Born 1862 | | [[Sanwel Felix (b.1862)]] | Born 1862 | | [[Lea Felix (b.1863)]] | Born 1863 | | [[Jakob Chaim Felix (b.1866)]] | Born 1866 | | [[Mechel Hersch Felix (b.1866)]] | Born 1866, Died 1869 | | [[Moïse Marcus Schneid (b.1869)]] | Born 25 October 1869 | | [[Joel Schneid (b.1877)]] | Born 1877 | | [[Salomon Herz Schneid (b.1877)]] | Born 6 December 1877 | | [[Rachel Felix (b.1879)]] | Born 1879 | | [[Elke Schneid (b.1879)]] | Born 1 September 1879 | | [[Samuel Zajnwel Felix (b.1883)]] | Born 1883 | | [[Emil Felix (b.1884)]] | Born 1884 | | [[Haim Joachim Chajes (b.1829)]] | Died 1886 | | [[Ernestyna Jetty Felix (b.1886)]] | Born 1886 | | [[Izak Felix (b.1886)]] | Born 1886 | | [[Marja Felix (b.1887)]] | Born 1887 | | [[Feige Brandel Jussem (d.1887)]] | Died July 1887 | | [[Bronisława Felix (b.1888)]] | Born 1888 | | [[Zygmunt Felix (b.1890)]] | Born 1890 | | [[Fanny Brancie Tugendhaft (b.1890)]] | Born 1890 | | [[Fryderyka Fani Felix (b.1891)]] | Born 1891 | | [[Henryk Breitman (b.1894)]] | Born 1894 | | [[Solomon Chajes (b.1835)]] | Died 1896 | | [[Jütte Lipke Chajes (b.1839)]] | Died 1898 | | [[Róża Rappaport (b.1814)]] | Died 1900 | | [[Abraham David Spritzer (b.1910)]] | Born 10/10/1910 | | [[Zenon Felix (b.1923)]] | Born 07/17/1923 | | [[Bronisława Felix (b.1926)]] | Born 03/21/1926 | | [[Nusyn Nuta Landau Falk (d.1761)]] | Born |
