Notes about Abraham Salomon LICHTENSTEIN , Rabbi

From its earliest days, Gabin was a town of craftsmen of various trades, and its population contained a sizeable number of Jews. Competition and conflict between Jewish and the non-Jewish tradesmen is noted as early as 1576 when Sigismund III issued a decree prohibiting Jews from buying leather from the local peasants, allowing them to purchase leather only at the town market after completion of the morning mass at the townus Catholic church. In 1582 a decree from Stephen Buthory further prevented Jews from buying hides and tallow in the town or its vicinity. During subsequent years, Jews were harassed at times, and forced to live in designated parts of the town, called the uquarter.u

Jews generally represented approximately half the population of the town. For example, in 1808, the townus population consisted of 577 Jews out of a total population of 1,183. The census of 1827 counted 1,472 Jews out of a total population of 2,926. After World War I the 1921 census showed that of the total population of the town, at 5,777, there were 2,564 Jews living in the town.[3]

Before the onset of World War II, Gabin was home to a very large Jewish population, around 2000, and housed one of the most remarkable old wooden synagogues of the entire region.[4] On September 7, 1939, Gabin was occupied by the invading German Army, which burned down the wooden synagogue and rounded up the townus Jewish population to dig trenches for protection against the Polish Army. In 1940, German police and SS murdered many Jews and tortured many others. In 1941, the Germans placed the Jewish population in a ghetto, and in 1942 about 500 were sent to forced labour camps. Later that year, the Germans rounded up the remaining hundreds of Jews and sent them to the Chelmno extermination camp where they were immediately gassed.[5] At warus end, of the approximately 2,300 Jews that had resided in Gabin (including about 250 sent there during the war, only about 212 survived, 180 having escaped to the Soviet occupied zone of Poland in September 1939, and 32 fleeing into the Polish countryside.[3][6]
