Dubno Street Map, 1989
Dubno Street Map, 1989
To the right and below Dubno is the Ikva River. The Dubno Castle is in the far right. The Lutz Gate Prison is in the far left. The Ghetto area is in the bottom right, a relatively small area in which the 15,000 Jews (including those from surrounding villages) were confined, robbed, starved and murdered. While hundreds of Jews were murdered in the streets of Dubno, or died of disease or hunger, the major "actions" took place a few miles outside of town, at the Jewish Cemetery or at the military airfield.

*After two uprisings, the Kingdom of Poland (also known as Congress Poland) was disbanded by Russia. The Palatinates were reorganized into nine Gubernya (Governates), with military governors, and integrated into the Pale. It was officially renamed, “Vistula Land”, although I have yet to see this on any ancestral document. Rather, documents continued to refer to "Poland", sometimes "Poland, Russia", and sometimes "Russia".

* The Kingdom of Poland comprised of ten “Voivodes” (Palatinates) was created by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 with the Russian Tsar as king. It was also referred to as "Congress Poland" and "Congress Kingdom of Poland". Although nominally independent of Russia, this was not the reality. In the 1830s and again in the 1860s, there were unsuccessful rebellions aimed at freeing Poland from Russian control.
