Szadek [ˈʂadɛk] is a town in Zduńska Wola County, Łódź Voivodeship, Poland, with 1,976 inhabitants (2016).[1]
History
In 1921, there were 535 Jews out of the total 3,058 residents in Szadek. At that time, the Jewish population was concentrated mostly along Sieradzka Street, where they constituted almost 90% of inhabitants.[2]
After the German occupation that began September 1939, Jews were robbed and subject to forced labor without pay, some working in the community, others sent to labor camps. In 1940, the 410 Jews remaining in the town were given three hours notice that they were to move to a ghetto ghetto where they lived in poverty and with terrible hygenic conditions. On 14 August 1942, all of Szadek's Jewish community were deported to the Chełmno extermination camp where they were immediately gassed.[3][4][5] There were fewer than twenty survivors from the Szadek Jewish committee. One Polish woman hid a Jewish woman, saving her life, and after the war was honored by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.
