Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Dabrowa Górnicza was occupied by the German army in early September 1939. All Jews living there - approximately 5,000 - were gathered into the Judische Kultusgemeinde (Jewish Community) prior to the establishment of the Dabrowa ghetto the following year. A Judenrat was established, and many of the Jewish businesses were aryanized. Young Jews were deployed for forced labor in Germany as well as in war-related industries. Jews not selected for work were deported to Auschwitz. At the end of the war only 300 Jews from Dabrowa survived.
