Józefów

Józefów is a town in the Roztocze range in Lubelskie, Poland. It lies 24 km east of Biłgoraj, 30 km southwest of Zamość and 92 km south of the regional capital Lublin.

Understand
Before the Second World War about 60% of the town's population was Jewish. In July 1943 Nazis killed 1,500 of them during the Józefów Massacre. Nowadays there is a monument on the location of the massacre to commemorate these cruel acts.



Get in
The train station of Józefów is about 3 kilometers away from the town center so it does not make a good option. A better option is to take a bus from Biłgoraj or Zamość. From Biłgoraj these buses run frequently.

Get around
On foot or by bike.
