Glusk, Poland

General

Glusk was a town in the Lublin district of Poland. At the start of the war, there were about 400 Jews in the town. This population increased to over 700 as a result of deportations from the Pomerania area of northwest Poland. In October, 1942, most of the remaining Jews were deported to the death camp at Sobibor.
