Nota histórica

Sadurki is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nałęczów, within Puławy County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, located about 28 km west of the regional capital Lublin. According to Yahad’s witnesses the number of Jews who lived in Sadurki was small compared to Poles. There were Jewish houses near the Sadurki’s railway station. They lived off trade and handcraft. They prayed in their houses. There was no synagogue. 

Holocausto por balas en cifras

Sadurki was bombed by the Germans in September 1939. When the Germans occupied the village, they established their administration in the railway station building. Very little is known about Jewish life in Sadurki under the German occupation until 1942, when a labor camp was established. When Czechoslovak Jews were brought to the camp, the number of prisoners reached 200. Some of the Jews confined in the camp were later sent to Belzyce. Locals were requisitioned by the Germans to transport the Jews by carts. In November 1943, during the liquidation of the labor camp in Sadurki, 98 Jews were taken to a villager Zygmont Orlowski’s garden and shot. According to the witnesses interviewed by Yahad, the pit was dug by the Jews themselves and was very long (18 m, as stated in the Polish archives). The archives report that the Orlowski’s property was in Wymyslow and that the corpses were buried there. However, accroding to the Yahad’s witness, several Jewish victims were buried near the railway station.
