# Skrzynice Forest <table class="place-meta"> <tr><td>Local name(s)</td><td>Las Skrzynicki (Polish); near the village of Skrzynice</td></tr> <tr><td>Region (today)</td><td>Gmina Jabłonna, Lublin County, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland</td></tr> <tr><td>Coordinates</td><td>approx. 51°08′N 22°37′E (village of Skrzynice)</td></tr> </table> ## Overview "Skrzynice Forest" refers to the wooded area (Polish *Las Skrzynicki*) beside the village of Skrzynice in Gmina Jabłonna, Lublin County, about 15–17 km south of Lublin. Skrzynice is a cluster of small farming settlements (Skrzynice Pierwsze, Skrzynice-Kolonia and others) in the Lublin Voivodeship. The forest sits within the same Lublin-region landscape where the German occupiers carried out numerous woodland mass executions of Jews during Aktion Reinhard (1942), of which the best-documented nearby example is the Krępiec Forest killing site northeast of Lublin. **Identification note / flag:** A specific, separately documented Holocaust execution or massacre event named for "Skrzynice Forest" could not be verified in the accessible English-language sources; the name most likely records a local killing/burial spot near Skrzynice as remembered in a family record rather than a well-catalogued site. Coordinates given are those of Skrzynice village and are approximate for the forest. This entry should be revisited if a primary source (a specific individual's death record, a Yad Vashem testimony, or a Polish local-memory source) pins down the exact event. <small>Sources: Wikipedia — Skrzynice, Skrzynice Pierwsze, Gmina Jabłonna (Lublin Voivodeship); Mapcarta — Las Skrzynicki (forest), Gmina Jabłonna; Holocaust Historical Society — Krępiec Forest (regional context).</small> ## People with events here | Person | Event | | --- | --- | | [[Chaskiel Moszek Barbanel (b.1905)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Chysza Ajdla Barbanel (b.1933)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Lejzor Barbanel (b.1930)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Sura Etla Barbanel (b.1931)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Rywka Goldberg (b.1905)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Unknown Rochwerg (b.1942)]] | Died ~12/1942 | | [[Chysza Ajdla Barbanel (b.1907)]] | Died ~12/05/1942 | | [[Nusyn Barbanel (b.1873)]] | Died 12/05/1942 | | [[Symy Maryia Goldberg (b.1877)]] | Died ~12/05/1942 |
