Turobin [tuˈrɔbin] is a town in Biłgoraj County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.

[2] In 1869, the Tsarist authorities revoked the town rights as punishment for the unsuccessful Polish January Uprising.

[4] During the German-Soviet invasion of Poland at the start of World War II in September 1939,[5] the town was invaded by Germany.

Jews from the nearby town of Wysokie and from other locations in Poland such as Lublin, Łódź, Koło, Konin and Słupsk were sent to the Turobin ghetto.

[6] A survivor of the Sobibór death camp, Josef Kopf, was murdered by one of his former Polish neighbors in 1944 when he returned to Turobin.
