Poland, Jewish Survivors from the Keilce District, 1945

This database contains information on about 2,179 Jewish Holocaust survivors from the Kielce district of Poland. These names were originally published in the 22-page booklet Surviving Jews in Kielce District, published by the World Jewish Congress in New York. The booklet is undated, but was likely published about 1945-46.

"Kielce District" here apparently refers to the immediate post-war district of Kielce, which roughly corresponds to the area of the pre-WWI gubernias of Kielce and Radom of Congress Poland. Towns in southern Piotrków gubernia (the districts of Będzin, Zawiercie and Częstochowa, which were in Kielce Województwa of inter-war Poland) are not included in this booklet.

The names are organized by town of residence before the war. The localities included are:

The columns in this database are:
