Serock; about 20 miles from Warsaw; was a community built on the Narew River. It had a Jewish presence since the 18th century. Involved in all sorts of commerce and industry; the Jewish residents constituted nearly half of the town's population by the start of World War II. Traditional in their religious beliefs; for the most part; over 2;000 Jews were displaced from the town by the end of 1939. The vast majority initially were sent to various Polish Ghettoes; and eventually to Nazi-run death camps; such as Treblinka. After the war; those Serock residents who survived returned to the town and eventually moved on with their lives in other countries around the world; notably the United States of America and the State of Israel. This books serves as a memorial to all the victims of the Shoah from Serock and the nearby vicinity. Klobuck Poland is located at 50° 54' North Latitude / 18° 56' East Longitude.
