Jews are first recorded in the late 1500s, with the first synagogue built in 1660, growing to over 10,000 by 1910. During the German occupation the community was destroyed in Aktionen in 1942–43, with thousands deported to Bełżec and roughly 11,000 Jews of the town and area murdered. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Stryi, Gesher Galicia, JewishGen KehilaLinks — Stryy</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Aryeh Leib Heller (b.1745)]] | Died 12/22/1812 | | [[Yehuda Goldfischer (b.1845)]] | Born ~1845, Died 05/09/1849 | | [[Josef Flaszer (b.1847)]] | Born ~1847 | | [[Jakob Goldfischer (b.1851)]] | Born 06/19/1851 | | [[Reizel Strummer (b.1852)]] | Born 03/21/1852 | | [[Leib Hausler (b.1859)]] | Born ~1859 | | [[Samuel Seinwel Felix (b.1877)]] | Born 1877 | | [[Gedalie Leib Turkel (b.1891)]] | Born 1891, Died 1892 | | [[Josef Turkel (b.1893)]] | Born 05/16/1893 | | [[Yisrael Rosenberg (b.1895)]] | Born 1895 | | [[Chaya Rosenberg (b.1897)]] | Born 1897 | | [[Leon Heller (b.1898)]] | Born 1898 | | [[Moshe Goldfischer (b.1899)]] | Born 1899 | | [[Rivka Heller (b.1899)]] | Born 1899 | | [[Yosef Rosenberg (b.1899)]] | Born 1899 | | [[Yaakov Wolf Heller (b.1901)]] | Born 1901 | | [[Meir Rosenberg (b.1903)]] | Born 1903 | | [[Roza Rosenberg (b.1905)]] | Born 1905 | | [[Roza Rosenberg (b.1907)]] | Born 1907 | | [[Yehuda Leib Rosenberg (b.1907)]] | Born 1907 | | [[Faiga Heller (b.1908)]] | Born 1908 | | [[Henya Rosenberg (b.1909)]] | Born 1909 | | [[Henya Heller (b.1910)]] | Born 1910 | | [[Mechel Rosenberg (b.1911)]] | Born 1911 | | [[Moshe Rosenberg (b.1912)]] | Born 1912 | | [[Gittel Rosenberg (b.1914)]] | Born 1914 | | [[Dzidzia Goldfischer (b.1925)]] | Born 1925 | | [[Regina Goldfischer (b.1930)]] | Born 1930 |
