Tyszowce [tɨˈʂɔft͡sɛ] (Yiddish: Tishevitz) is a small village in Tomaszów Lubelski County, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland, with 359 inhabitants (2004).
Tyszowce was incorporated as a town from 1419 until 1870 when it lost its city charter, to regain it only in 2000. In 1655 the Tyszowce Confederation was formed in the town.
Jewish Community
The Jewish population numbered 2,454 Jews in 1921. In October, 1939 the village was occupied by the Nazis. About 1,000 Jews fled across the Bug River to the Soviet Union. In 1940 a forced labor camp was established in Tyszowce. During the night of April 16, 1942, the Nazis launched massive execution of Jews in Tyszowce. Jews were brought to the square before the former public bath, where several hundred Jews were shot. The Nazis threw the corpses into a ditch. In 1942 about 2,000 Jews total, including some from Czechoslovakia, were deported to the Belzec Death Camp. Another 150 Tyszowce Jews were deported to the Zamość labor camp.[1]
