Modliborzyce was a village in the district of Lublin. The Ghetto was inhabited by the Jews from the town and Vienna. In June, 1942, the Ghetto had about 2,200 inhabitants. During the liquidation of the Ghetto in October, 1942, the prisoners were transported to Krasnik and from there to the Belzec death camp.
