It is worth noting that, according to a census, in 1938 there were
1,671 Jews in Lunna-Wola. The decrease from 1,671 to 1,549 can be
attributed, in part, to some people having moved to Palestine
and to other destinations. For example, Leah Yanovsky
(previously Eliashberg), arrived in Haifa on April 1, 1940; a few
others served in the Polish or the Red Army and were mobilized and/or
captured before the occupation of Lunna; some were deported to the
Soviet Union; and others, as described above, were murdered by the
Germans or died of natural or other causes between 1938 and November
1942. |
