In 1942, Germans established a ghetto for the Jews in which also Jews collected from nearby villages were put. Jews from Warsaw, who were building a side-track from Wiśniowa to Stępina where a tunnel for the railway was erected by Jews from Frysztak, were already there. In the ghetto more than a half of the Jews were from outside of Frysztak. Its partial liquidation took part on 3 July 1942, when Nazis from military Police from Jasło along with the Ukrainian detachment from the training camp Werkschutz in Moderówka, where one of the training camps of SS Galizien was located, took some Jews approximately 850 people: women, children and the old to the forest in Wawrzyce where they were murdered.
