History
Zakrzówek was built before XIII century. The village was a fief of the Cistercians. In XVI century a local church was built. In XVII century a parish of St. Nicholas was established. The wooden church, built in 1793, burned down in 1848. A new, brich church was built. It still exist today.
The Holocaust
- More than 800 Jews lived in Zakrzówek upon the German invasion. In October 1942, 50 Jewish children together with elders and the disabled were slaughtered by the Nazis. A group of 400 remaining Jews -- together with Jewish dwellers of nearby Annopol, Janów Lubelski and Dzierzkowice -- were moved to the ghetto in neighboring Kraśnik. Some of them were taken to the labor camp at Budzyń by Kraśnik, but most of them were murdered in the death camps at Bełżec and Majdanek[2].
