The Farmers from Zwola<\/strong><\/p>
\n <\/p><\/h2>\n\n During World War II, the Germans established a ghetto in Gniewosz\u00f3w and the adjacent village of Granica, where approximately 6,500 Jews were confined\u2014both local residents and those displaced from other areas of the General Government. In August 1942, the gradual liquidation of the ghetto began, and Jews were deported to extermination camps. Some of them escaped deportation thanks to the help of farmers from nearby villages, including J\u00f3zef Suchecki and Jan Wolski from Zwola. They prepared hiding places in their farm buildings, where small groups of escapees from the Gniewosz\u00f3w ghetto could periodically find shelter. Among those hiding were Eliezer Finkelman, Hersz Liebhaber, Moshe Holtzhandler, Mirl Reikh, and Pesach Tanenboim. For safety reasons, they changed their hiding places from time to time.<\/p>\n\n In the morning hours of August 17, 1943, likely as a result of a denunciation by German settlers from nearby Marian\u00f3w, gendarmes from the station in Zwole\u0144 entered the neighboring farms of J\u00f3zef Suchecki and Jan Wolski. Although no one was hiding there at the time, both farmers were shot, and their families were beaten. During the raid conducted in the area, the Germans also captured and murdered the Jews who had been helped by the Suchecki and Wolski families. The bodies of J\u00f3zef Suchecki and Jan Wolski were initially buried near the site of the execution, and after the war, they were exhumed and laid to rest in the cemetery in Oleks\u00f3w.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3245","miejsce","type-miejsce","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/miejsce\/3245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/miejsce"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/miejsce"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
