Piotrków Kujawski
Piotrków Kujawski is a town in Radziejów County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, with 4,463 inhabitants.
The oldest known mention of Piotrków dates back to 1252. It was granted town rights in 1589 by King Sigismund III of Poland.
Before World War II, Piotrków Kujawski's Jewish population numbered between 800 and 900. Under the German occupation, the Jews were placed in a ghetto, stripped of their possessions, and forced to do unpaid labor. In 1941, a few were sent to labor camps. In April 1942, the remaining Jews were rounded up and sent in trucks to the Chelmno killing center where they were immediately murdered. Only fourteen of the prewar population are known to have survived.
