We also plan to erect the Memorial for Those who were murdered here in 1942 (not confirmed yet because of a lot of red tape problems).
and Robert added, please don't forget to bring old pictures and objects associated with Dukla.
Robert sent this photograph of the monument in Holon Israel
(outside of Tel Aviv). He also said that "On the left and right
side you can see the names of the last 4 rabbis in Dukla".

Thanks to Stephen Morse's wonderful Ellis Island Front End, where one can query the Hebrew immigrants by town, I have assembled a list of over 350 Hebrew immigrants to Dukla. There were thousands of other Hebrew immigrants from Dukla, at different times, and to different ports of entry; and many names may not appear if the passenger list did not contain "Dukla" and "Hebrew" recognizable to the interpreter.
It is fascinating to observe the different spellings of the town and the surnames.
Just as a reminder, Dukla was part of the Austrian Empire (imperial crownland of Galicia) from 1776 to 1919; then it became part of Poland where it remains today. This might explain some of the different nationalities we find below.
If you wish to research manifests yourself, it is relatively easy, but I suggest you use the Steve Morse’s query at www.jewishgen.org/databases/EIDB . Here are the steps:
