Six Photographs from the Holocaust Period – Jews from the Polish Town of Dąbrowa Tarnowska
Six photographs of Jews from the Polish town of Dąbrowa Tarnowska during the Holocaust. [Ca. 1939-1942].
The photographs show Jews wearing armbands, standing by doors marked with Stars of David, peeling potatoes and waiting in traveling clothes with suitcases, guarded by soldiers. Two of the photographs are captioned on verso in handwriting, in German.
Until the Holocaust the town of Dąbrowa Tarnowska (southeast Poland) was home to a Jewish community of some 2,400. In September 1939 the town was occupied by German forces, and its Jews were first sent to labor camps and later to the Bełżec extermination camp. Out of the town's Jews, about 50 survived the Holocaust.
