Serock [IPA-pl|'|s|e|r|o|c|k] is a town at the north bank of the Zegrze lake in the Legionowo County, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, with 3,616 inhabitants (2004).

Serock has existed as a fortified Masovian settlement since at least 1065. It was granted city rights in 1417 and again in 1923.

Jews in Serock

Before World War II, there was a significant Jewish population in Serock. Today there are no Jews. In the summer of 2000, a visiting descendant of former residents, discovered that a number of gravestones (Matzevot) were piled up in the city park [http://www.izrael.badacz.org/zydzi_w_polsce/katalog_mazowsze_serock.html] . The stones had been gathered by a local non-Jewish resident who also roped off the area. In 2006, a visit by members of the Jewish Records Indexing-Poland project confirmed the situation and now an attempt is being made to restore or at least establish a memorial on the site of the former Jewish cemetery. The United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad [http://www.heritageabroad.gov/index.html] is involved under the guidance of The Honorable Lee R. Seeman.
