At the outbreak of WWII there were about 25,000 Jews living in Stanisławów. When the Soviet army reached the city on July 27, 1944 there were about one hundred Jews that had survived in hiding.

Stanislawow Memorial Stone at
                                Treblinka

 [Photo by Stan Goodman, permission given.]The above photograph is of a memorial at Treblinka to the martyrs of Stanislawow. [Ed. note: The majority of the Jews of Stanisławów were murdered at the Belzec death camp. Generally Jews from Stanisławów were not sent to Treblinka per se; however, the memorial at Treblinka has included this stone, along with those remembering many vanished communities.]

A Jewish community existed in Stanisławów since 1662.  Under Austrian rule, Jews played quite an important role in civic affairs, such that from 1897 to 1919 Arthur Nemhein, an assimilated Jew, was the mayor. By the early twentieth century the city was a major center of Jewish manufacturing, especially in the clothing and hide-processing branches.
