A Shtetl Called Dukla

Welcome to Dukla and Jewish Genealogy! Dukla is located in the southern part of Poland, at latitude 49° 24´, longitude 21° 41´. Although the town began in Poland, it was part of of Galicia (an Imperial Province of the Austrian Empire) from 1776 to1919.

On the map below, Dukla is surrounded clockwise by Map of Galicia Iwonicz-Zdroj , (7 miles ENE), Rymanow (8 miles East), Krempna (8 miles WSW) Zmigrod (7.5 miles WNW), Chorkowka (6 miles North) and Jedlicze (10 miles North) and Krosno (9 miles NNE). Most of these towns had large Jewish populations until World War II. Those towns that have web pages are underlined in BLUE above; the Krosno web site is a regional one that incorporates information from the entire area. To view the background of our genealogical research group, go to the shtetlinks page on Zmigrod. On this Zmigrod page you will find in-depth history of the area (Galicia), stories from folks born in the area, fascinating travelogues, links to pertinent web pages on JewishGen, and holocaust information.

Even more importantly, if you are visiting this page because your family came from Dukla, you might want to read about the surrounding communities too, as in Galicia marriages were most often arranged between families from nearby towns; and the young couple lived in one of the family towns. So even if, say, your great grandfather came from Dukla, it is possible that his people came from a neighboring shtetl!

Please feel free to contact any or all of us if you have any questions or information to add. Just like our research, this is an evolving project!

    Restoration of the Dukla Cemetery

    I received the following message in April 2004, from Dr.Norman Weinberg: “I have received a message from Rabbi Michael Schudrich, Rabbi of Warsaw and Lodz, regarding Dukla. The municipality of Dukla has generously offered to pay 40% of the cost of restoration of the Jewish cemetery of Dukla. This is an unprecedented opportunity! The total cost of the project is estimated at 100 000 zl (about 25 000 USD). In addition, we need to recover the Dukla cemetery matzevot from the river in Jasliska where they were dumped during the Holocaust. The matzevot would be photographed, documented and be incorporated in the restored walls of the cemetery. The resulting documentation would be available to everyone at no charge, posted on JewishGen.

    Why should you be interested in restoring the cemetery and recovering the matzevot? For many reasons, including: the cemetery is sacred ground where ancestors are buried, including for some, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins; cemetery care and restoration is among the greatest mitzvot one can do; and, the recovered matzevot are a valuable genealogical resource.

    What is needed to get this project underway? Your support in getting this news to family and other descendants of Dukla. And someone to volunteer to be the Dukla PJCRP Coordinator to be the intermediary between the The Poland Jewish Cemetery Restoration Project (PJCRP) and Dukla descendants.

    What is The Poland Jewish Cemetery Restoration Project? The PJCRP's mission is to restore all 1200 of the devastated Jewish cemeteries of Poland. See www.pjcrp.org, and as an example, the website of a PJCRP successfully restored cemetery at www.ozarow.org. The PJCRP is supported by the US and Polish Governments and by many Jewish Foundations and organizations. Rabbi Michael Schudrich is Halachic Coordinator of the PJCRP.

    Please participate in this important project
