Czudec, Poland: Lists of Jewish Residents 1940-1942

Introduction

This is an index of five lists of Jewish residents from Czudec, Poland from 1940-1942. It contains 1,215 records.

German forces occupied Czudec in September 1939. While Czudec was a small town, Jews from the surrounding region were subsequently brought into the town in significant numbers. There was never a ghetto in Czudec. Instead, Jewish men and women were hired out as forced labor to private or municipal enterprises - including those involved in construction, road building and estate management. Several of these enterprises were based in the nearby town of Strzyzów.
