• Notes

  The Germans captured Wachock 14 September 1939. The battles resulted in a fire that consumed many of the town's homes. Even in the first days of the occupation, Jews were seized for forced labor. Many were utilized in repairing the damage caused by the fires, clearing the rubble, cleaning the streets and other kinds of services. As far as is known there was no ghetto in Wachock, and the Jews continued to live in their houses until the community was liquidated. On 20 September 1942, the Germans gathered some 600 Jews in the square of the market and conducted a "selektzia" among them. Healthy young people were separated and sent to the Skarzysko Kamienna (cf.) forced labor camp. The rest - older people, women, and children were taken to the forest next to the city hall and executed.
