Będzin Ghetto, World War II memorial site in Będzin, Poland.

The former ghetto area encompasses several streets in central Będzin, including Modrzejow Street and Stary Rynek, marking locations of historical significance.

German authorities established this Jewish residential zone in July 1940, forcing over 30,000 Jews from Będzin and neighboring communities to live within its boundaries.

The site represents the once-thriving Jewish community of Będzin, which constituted 62 percent of the city's population before World War II.

Visitors can access commemorative plaques and memorial markers throughout the former ghetto area, with guided tours available through local historical organizations.

Members of the Jewish Combat Organization initiated a resistance uprising in August 1943 during the final deportation of ghetto residents.
