**** See List of Krzywcza Shoah victims extracted from Yad Vashem's The Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Holocaust Survivors and Victims Database **** For Holocaust-related documents for Krzywcza natives, click here. **** See JewishGen's Holocaust Database *** "In September
1939, the Nazis murdered 14 Jews in the forest
on the Krzywicka Mountain. In October 1939,
they murdered other Jews. In May 1943, 11 Jews
from Krzywcza and Kończuga were shot dead at
the local Jewish cemetery. The remaining Jews
were taken to the ghetto in Przemyśl
(according to 'The Encyclopedia of Jewish Life
Before and During the Holocaust,' the
transport to the German concentration camp in
Bełżec was in July 1942; most likely not all
of the Jews were transported there. [We know
that some were sent to Auschwitz.] In nearby
Bachów, the Nazis murdered the Leidner family,
eight persons in total. Their bodies were
buried at the execution site."
