Jews first settled there in the mid-18th century. The town is about 73 miles from Warsaw and nine miles from Lodz. In the years prior to the Second World War, Zgierz was a city of about 40,000 people, of which 5,000 were Jews. About 80% of the Jewish population were employed in the textile industry. The others were involved with trade and business. The pages of this book, Volume II, are a supplement to the first Yizkor book of Zgierz that was published eleven years earlier in 1975. The editors of the first book announced their intention at the time to find a home for the large amount of material that remained unused in their hands."--Amazon.com. 546 Text in English; translated from Hebrew and Yiddish. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |zZgierz |xHistory. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland |zZgierz. 650 0 Jews |xPersecutions |zPoland |zZgierz. 651 0 Zgierz (Poland) |xEthnic relations. 651 0 Zgierz (Poland) |xHistory. 700 1 Sztokfisz, David, |eeditor. |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjJ7Tr43ptvDGgjDjMBWym 700 1 Kanc, Shimon, |eeditor. |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjBPD8xpCKTt6w98dXY4C3 700 1 Fisher, Zeʼev, |eeditor. 700 1 Landau, Jerrold, |etranslator. |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjtbTxdQbkFMP7rmp9ycRq 710 2 JewishGen, Inc. 710 2 Museum of Jewish Heritage (New York, N.
