Jewish History of Końskie

In 1900 there were 1728 Jews living in Radoszyce.Konskie was both a town -- 50-66% Jewish -- and a county (powiat). Some of the main Jewish towns of the county were Konskie (called Kinsk by Jews), Gowarczow, Przedeborz, Opozno, Starachowice and others. Between the Germans, the Polish Blue Police (main police force) and the collaboration of non-Jewish Poles, almost all Jews from Konskie were murdered during WW II. Very few survived under German occupation, some survived in the USSR.
