linia 2022-10-03 Commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust of the Jewish community of Iłża.

The history of the presence of the Jewish community in Iłża dates back to 1789. Already in 1897, Jews accounted for 48% of the total population of this town, co-creating for 250 years a rich social, religious and cultural landscape of the region. The religious community was officially founded in 1850. Before World War II, one and a half thousand Jews lived in Iłża. However, there were twice as many people in the ghetto, because the Germans brought here the inhabitants of the surrounding towns. In October 1942, a column of Jews marched from the Iłża ghetto to Starachowice, from where it was deported to Treblinka. They were all murdered within a few days. On October 20-21, 2022, ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust of the Jewish community that lived in Iłża will take place. As part of the celebrations, on October 21, a ceremony commemorating the martyrs will be held at the Jewish cemetery in Iłża.
