Most of the Jews of Wlodawa and the surrounding towns were transported daily from the Wlodawa Ghetto to the camp at Adampol, until October 1942, when almost all of them, some 8,000 people, were shot or deported to Sobibor.
Survivors, including Jack (Yankele) Glinzman and his uncles, Jack (Yankel), Israel (Srulka) and Joseph (Yuscha) Glincman and cousins Bob (Bollek) Becker, Pomeranc and others fled into the forest on the Belorussian border and joined up with the Parczew partisans.
There is a memorial to the Jews who were murdered in Adampol at the entrance to the estate where the Nazis were headquartered, paid for by the Pomeranc and Blaichman families.
