World War One: Battles around Lubaczow in the summer of 1915. Diseases

The year 1915 became an extreme year in Lubaczow.

230 deaths were registered that year  -  a huge number considering a Jewish population of perhaps 1700.

Looking at the list of those who died in Lubaczow in 1915, it is likely that the fighting between the Germans and the Russians in this area took its toll on the civilian population


From  the 1929 Swedish Encyclopedia ( Nordisk Familjebok) :
"During the World War the 11th German Army (von Mackensen) broke through the stronghold of the Russians between Lubaczow and Jaworow on June 12th to June 15th 1915."

In the book Almanac of World War I by David F. Burg, L. Edward Purcell you should read the description for June 13th 1915 to get an impression of the violent battles in this part of Galicja. I did a simple Google search for "Lubaczow 1915" and could read the relevant passage on Google books.

"רחל בת אפרים "מתה בעת מלחמה מן כלי תותח
Rachel daughter of Efraim "died during the war of a rocket"




But how many of the 230 persons died of  some kind of epidemic disease? We do not know. 

This is a select list of graves from 1915.

We must remember that children usually did not get any gravestones. Around a third of those who died were 16 years old or younger.

As none of these graves have the family name inscribed, a definite identification  must be taken very carefully.
