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.[1] During World War II, 410 Jews were imprisoned in a ghetto. On 14 August 1942, all of its inhabitants were deported to the Extermination camp Chelmno.[2][3]
