During World War II, the Wysokie municipality (gmina) was located in the Krasnystaw County, in the Lublin District of the General Government (the part of occupied Poland that had not been annexed to the Reich).^[1] The townlet of Wysokie, the seat of the municipality, lies some 37 kilometers southwest of the town of Krasnystaw.

On the eve of World War II, the Wysokie municipality was home to 430 Jews, who lived in seven of its settlements: Wysokie (a townlet, the capital of the municipality); the villages of Dragany, Giełczew, Maciejów Stary, and Słupeczno; and the Giełczew and Józefin farmsteads. The townlet of Wysokie had the largest number of Jews.^[2]
