Liquidation of the Jędrzejów ghetto

Jędrzejów, between Kielce and Cracovie, was home to a recent but sizeable community oriented toward trade and craftsmanship. The occupier established a closed quarter there that received Jews from the small towns of the district as well as deportees from the west. In the autumn, the population was gathered, sorted on the square, and marched toward Treblinka. The sick and the children were shot at the cemetery. A few dozen men were kept behind to sort through the belongings left in the quarter, then transferred to the labor camps of the region. Nothing remains of the community of Jędrzejów.
