"This building was the synagogue of 2000 members of the Jewish community of Krasnosielc until World War II.

Here on the night of 6 IX 1939 more than 50 prominent members of the community were brutally murdered by the Nazi-Germans and their bodies buried in the adjoining yard.

The remainder of the community was then driven out through acts of terror to a bitter fate."

murdered Jews
of Krasnosielc
 

This gravesite (left) was finally found in 1991 after a local resident, whose family was forced to bury the bodies, shared the information with hired investigators.

The plaque on the wall relates to this site of the murdered  Jews on the night of Sept 5,1939.

Memorial to the Jews of Łuków
at the site of the
old cemetery.

During World War II, the Jewish community in Łuków was decimated. Before the Jews of Łuków disappeared, the town was a transit point on the way to the gas chambers for thousands of Jews from various regions of Poland and even from abroad. In May 1942, over 2,000 Jews from Slovakia were sent to Łuków.

The first mass murders of the Jews of Łuków started in March 1942, when the Germans shot forty-seven of them. Next, forty-nine were killed on the 31st of April. During that summer, Jews were prohibited to leave the town. Everyone who broke this ban was killed.

The systematic liquidation of the Jewish community in Łuków started on 5th October 1942. At that time, 5,000 people were sent to the death camp in Treblinka and also five-hundred were killed on the spot. At that time, the last rabbi (since 1937) of the Jewish community in Łuków, Aaron Note Freiberg, was killed. Next, two-thousand people were transported to Treblinka on the 8th of October. After that action, the size of the ghetto in Łuków was reduced. The Jews from the neighborhood villages of Kock, Wojcieszków, Adamów, Stanin, Tuchowicz, Trzebieszów and Ulan were next sent to the town. On 26-27 October and 7-11 November, three-thousand people were transported to Treblinka and two-hundred Jews were shot in front of the town hall and at the Jewish cemetery.

The Jews who were still alive were returned to the ghetto in December 1942, their living area confined to just a few houses. The ghetto was finally liquidated on 2nd May 1943. In this way then, the Jewish community in Łuków had completely disappeared.

plaque on left:  "In commemoration of the Jewish partisans and victims murdered by the Nazis in Lukow and vicinity in the years 1939-1949." (the date, 1949, shown here in Polish, should be 1943. This is inscribed correctly in the Hebrew/Yiddish translation.)

A series of surviving matzevot form this memorial.

"In Sacred memory of the Jewish martyrs of Ozarow and surrounding communities who sanctified the Holy Name of The Almighty in life and in death, and who tragically perished in the flames of the Holocaust. May their hallowed lives be for all generations to come a beacon of light, strength and inspiration."

Inscription date 22 July 1964

"In this place, in the month of August 1942, Fascists brutally murdered 600 Jews.
In honor and remembrance."

In 1939, five-hundred Jews lived among approximately 1,900 Poles in Wachock. Only twenty-four survived the Holocaust. The Jewish Cemetery of Wachock was restored through the efforts of Rafael Feferman, one of the shtetl’s twenty-four surviving Jews, and it is dedicated to the memory of the six million, among them Mr. Feferman’s parents and siblings who were deported to Treblinka in 1942. In the center of the cemetery stands a newly erected eight foot wide granite monument that reads in part: "We honor the sacred memory of the Jewish victims of Wachock and surrounding communities who died in the Holocaust. We vow never to forget the Jewish men, women and children whose lives were cut short. We weep for what was lost. We shall never forget."
