Small town of the Galician salt mines, Dolina saw its community confined to a few streets then emptied in several operations, part of it shot in nearby woods and the rest sent to the death camp.
Dolina, a small town in the salt-producing region of Galicia along the Carpathian railway line, was home to a community that lived off the mines, timber, and retail trade. Under the occupation, it was subjected to levies, forced labor requisitions, and the execution of hostages, then confined to a few streets transformed into a closed quarter where Jews from neighboring towns flocked. The liquidation took place in several operations: some residents were shot in the nearby woods, the rest were taken away in convoys to the extermination camp, and the last remaining craftsmen were held for a few more months before being killed in their turn.
