Borough of Kielecczyzna whose Jewish population is transported in autumn to the extermination camp.
Włoszczowa, a small town on the outskirts of the Radom district, had an artisan community settled around the square and the house of prayer. The occupier gathered there the Jews of the town and surrounding villages, as well as those expelled from the annexed region. Forced labor in the forests and on the railway was a daily reality. In the autumn, the population was led to the station and transported to Treblinka. The neighboring forests sheltered a few fugitives, some of whom joined armed groups; most were found during the winter. Włoszczowa was emptied in a single day.
