Trzebinia in Yiddish: Tshabin

Place before the war: A village in the city district of Chrzanów, the Kraków

Province.

Place during the war: Generalgouvernement, Galicja Province.

There were 1,300 Jews – 329 families – in the village between the two world wars that were about 70% of its population. They made their living through trade, crafts and working at the oil refineries and electricity plants, coal mines and foundries and cement factories. The Joint and the village natives in the

USA helped in the renovation of the public bath house and clinic and donated to the local charity fund. Among the educational facilities in the village were: Talmud Torah, a new Hedder and two Yeshivot – religious Talmudic colleges. From 1932 until 1937 the court of the Admor (teacher and rabbi) from Bobowa was in the village. Zionist youth movements and parties had ongoing activities, Hebrew lessons, a library with about 1500 books and a drama group.
