I have collected some web links relating to the history of Jews in Staszow and Poland:
The English translation of the Staszow Book (Safer Staszow) is available here. Please note that only a small part of the book was actually translated into English. Maybe somebody would like to complete the translation. A lot of the names of people and places are misspelt. You can read the complete version of Safer Staszow (in Hebrew) on NY Public Library website.
Yad Vashem database.
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Treblinka Death Camp Museum - unfortunately available only in Polish
Belzec Museum - also available only in Polish
Those who are looking for their ancestors in Staszow should visit the Jewish Records Indexing - Poland database. You may also want to contact Jean-Pierre Stroweis who is the JRI-P Shtetl CO-OP town leader.
Extensive excerpts of a book: "Job: The Story of a Holocaust Survivor by Joseph Freeman", with lots of references to Staszow, available here.
JewishGen has a list of Staszow Jewish names, however for some reason the names starting with "H" are missing.
Web page about Staszow Jewish cemetery.
Rabbi Ephraim Shore's account of his trip to Staszow. Very interesting.
An incomplete list of the victims of the Holocaust is available at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/staszow/sta612.html
Jerry Levitt's account of his trip to Staszow.
Danny Miller's post at Jew Eat Yet is a real goldmine - this one is not to be missed!
Another account of a trip with a list of the names on the Jewish tombstones.
An interesting web site about Jewish community of Polaniec (Plontch) near Staszow.
Here is a list of remaining Jewish cemeteries in Poland.
A very important place to visit is Kazimierz - the Old Jewish Quarter of Cracow.
A stunning collection of the photographs of the Polish Jews is available here.
