The town has a population of approx. 3,000. Its Jewish population of around 1000 was almost completely wiped out during the German occupation of World War II by murders in the town, deportation to forced labor camps, and, for most, deportation [3]to Chelmno where all were immediately gassed. A few survivors returned at the end of the war but quickly fled in fear of their lives.
