title: Kozienice ghetto papers
identifier: irn514416
scope and content: The papers consist of documents relating to the Jewish ghetto and the Judenrat (Jewish council) in Kozienice, Poland. The documents include a full list of the inhabitants of the Kozienice ghetto, lists of Jews registered as able-bodied, a list of Jewish children born in the ghetto during the years 1939 to 1941, and other reports written by the employees of the Judenrat to the German authorities. Kozienice is a small town in the Radom district of central Poland. Approximately 5,000 Jews lived in the town before World War II. The Germans established a ghetto in Kozienice in the fall of 1940 as well as a Judenrat (Jewish council). Hershel Perl became the chairman of the Judenrat, and Moshe Bronsztajn became the head of the labor department which gave him the authority to decide who would work in the ghetto and who would be deported. On 27 September 1942, 8,000 Jews from Kozienice were deported to the Treblinka death camp where they were murdered on arrival. Seventy to 120 Jews remained in the Kozienice ghetto, but they were deported in late December 1942 to the Pionki and Skarzysko Kamienna concentration camps.
