Before World War II, about 1,000 Jews lived in Dąbie.[1] After the German occupation, they were confined to a ghetto in summer, 1940. Some were sent to labor camps, but most were sent directly to Chelmno extermination camp in December 1941 where they were gassed in specially adapted vans.[2][3] Only a few Dabie Jews survived the war.
