Holocaust

    



Radom Residents
For Holocaust records related to Radom residents, please go to the Names Page. You will find many records with photographs and history within the forced labor camp, Auschwitz and Dachau as well as identity papers from that period of time.
Video of Radom Ghetto
This  video is in Polish, but has some excellent video of the Radom Ghetto and its residents that may be of interest to those exploring family history in this region.

"Beit Radom" ("Home Radom") was prepared for the 70th Anniversary of Radom Ghetto Liquidation. It was first shown in August 2012 during the commemoration evening organized by "Resursa Obywatelska" Culture and Arts Center in Radom on the site of former Radom Synagogue. 

The film is based on the memoirs of Dora Zaidenweber, Jakub Leib Zyskind, Jozef Stiller, Waldemar Nowakowski (gathered in „The Trace" Bulletin - edited by the Radom Scientific Association) and Eliezer Ayalon („A cup of honey").

Authors: Elwira Dzikowska, Katarzyna Jagiello, Tomasz Celi and Agata Celi-Ratynska from „Resursa Obywatelsa" Culture and Arts Center in Radom. Music performed by Piotr Zarzyka and Marcin Wieczorek -- students of Oskar Kolberg Music School in Radom. The texts read by the actors from Teatr Powszechny in Radom: Patrycja Zywert, Grzegorz Szypka, Piotr Chudzicki and Rafal Dziewiecki from „Resursa Obywatelska".

Yitzkor Books and Encyclopedias

Radom In 2022 JewishGen did a complete translation of the Book of Radom which was previously only available in primarily Yiddish at the NY Public Library. The translation of the Yiddish and an expansion on what was in English in previously abridged form adds valuable information for genealogists. In particular genealogists will find an extensive Yizkor section by those in Israel that commemorates those who died in the Shoah.
Radom This link goes to the NY Public Library Yitzkor book which is primarily in Yiddish.  There are several versions of the book. The one labeled 1961a has additional materials in English. If you go to image 56720338 it will take you to the beginning of the Book of Radom. The table of contents begins at image 56720332 and there is an index of names at image 56720210 followed by photos labeled in English.
Radom Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, translated from Pinkas Hakehillot Polin

Pryztky Pryztky is located 11 miles from Radom. The Yiddish version can be found at the same NYPL link as the Radom Yitzkor book noted above
