The township of Izbica, situated some 60 kilometers from Lublin, had a population that was over 90% Jewish before World War II. In 1939 it found itself under Nazi occupation. From the beginning of the occupation, the German authorities sent trainloads of deportees from Germany, from Polish lands incorporated in the German Reich and from other Generalgouvernement localities to Izbica. The Germans exploited the town’s location by a railway line for establishing a transit ghetto there in 1942, from where Jews were shipped to extermination camps on Polish and foreign lands, in Bełżec and Sobibór. By the end of 1942, the Germans murdered most of the Jews kept in Izbica, replacing the transit ghetto with a secondary one. The final liquidation of the Jewish community in Izbica took place at the end of April 1943. Out of several thousand Izbica Jews, only fourteen survived the Nazi occupation.
