I believe that the victims of the Holocaust must not remain nameless. This is what the Germans wanted - to kill the people and remove any traces of their existence. It is a race with time to try and identify the victims.

There is a list of the murdered Staszow Jews in The Staszow Book, however not all names are mentioned.

I have found a significant number of records in Yad Vashem database. My list contains the names of people who were born in Staszow and died in Staszow during the war. There are some discrepancies and some names may be repeated. This may be caused by the way the records of Yad Vashem database are collected. The names and dates are collected mainly from survivors and from the families of victims. It is possible that more than one person could fill in record for a victim. My reasearch is also complicated by various versions of spellings of the names. My list currently contains only about 240 names. Any people who were born in Staszow, but died elsewhere are not listed here. Please note, that this list is very limited, as there were estimated 4500 - 5000 Jews killed in Staszow. I am hoping that this list will grow and that I will be able to identify more names and circumstances of death.
