Szadek

Szadek is a small town in Zduńska Wola County with a typical layout built around a central market square and surrounding residential areas. The administrative center, housing local government offices, sits at the heart of the settlement.

The town first appeared in written records during the 14th century when Poland was divided among different rulers. Over time it became a notable settlement within the Sieradz region.

A Jewish cemetery spanning 0.6 hectares contains twenty gravestones from the 19th and 20th centuries, marking the presence of a substantial Jewish community until 1942.

The town is easy to navigate on foot with small streets that typically wind through the central area. Visitors should expect this to be a quiet, small community with limited tourism facilities.

A Jewish cemetery with about twenty gravestones from the 19th and 20th centuries preserves the memory of the former Jewish community that lived here until the 1940s. The site stands as a testimony to this largely vanished past.
