Bełżec extermination camp
In 1921, there was a Jewish population of 129 people. During the Holocaust, the town's Jewish population suffered tremendously. A group of 120 to 200 Jews from Kraków, Poland were sent to Biskupice, Lublin district. In February 1942 a transport of 600 Jews was directed to the Bełżec extermination camp. Other Jews in the ghetto apparently were sent to Majdanek. The Jewish community ceased to exist after March 1942.
