Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Biłgoraj (Lublin region, Poland) is the birthplace of Isaac Bashevis Singer, who drew on it for inspiration in several literary works. The Jewish community, attested since the 17th century, represented a substantial share of the population and maintained numerous religious and cultural institutions. In 1942, its Jewish inhabitants were deported to Belzec and almost entirely exterminated.
