An all-new Zolynia Memorial Site will be launched at this address in mid-August 2008.

Zolynia is in rural southeastern Poland, on the road between the larger towns of Lancut and Lezajsk. Zolynia is a pleasant-looking place, a community which has been modernizing and trying to find its place in the new Poland, the new Europe and the new globalizing world.

Before the Second World War, Zolynia was the home of hundreds of Jewish families. Some of those families had lived there for generations, even centuries.

Today there are no Jewish families in Zolynia, or in any of the surrounding towns and villages for many miles around. Their shops and synagogues and study halls are long gone. This site recognizes the loss of the Jewish community of Zolynia and fifteen surrounding smaller villages in the Zolynia Kehilla (including Grodzisko Dolne of the neighboring Kehilla). It is a testiment to these communities and to their destruction during the Second World War.

Zolynia's stories are lessons to a world in which intolerance and violence against innocent civilians are still rampant problems.
