History

Mogielnica was granted town rights modelled after Środa Śląska in 1317 by Duke Siemowit II of Masovia.

In 1815, the town fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. On January 23, 1863, the second day of the January Uprising, the local populace pushed Russian troops out of the town, who however soon recaptured it.[1] On February 20, 1864, a clash between Polish insurgents and Russian troops took place near the town.[2]

In World War I, the Tsarist regime, in reprisal for its own catastrophic failures in battle with Germany, expelled the Jews of Mogielnica. The Jewish paper, Haynt, published in Congress Poland, stated in its May 23, 1915 issue (under Russian military censorship): "The entire Jewish population was deported from Mogielnica, roughly 5,000 people. They were given a short period of time in which to liquidate their businesses."[3] Some of the Jews returned to Mogielnica once Poland re-emerged as a sovereign state in 1918.

World War II

In 1940, during the Nazi Occupation of Poland, German authorities established a ghetto in Mogielnica to confine, persecute and exploit its Jewish population.[4][5][6] The ghetto was demolished on February 28, 1942, when its 1,500 inhabitants were transported in cattle trucks to the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest in all of Nazi-occupied Europe, with over 400,000 Jews crowded into an area of Script error: No such module "convert".. From there, most victims were sent to the Treblinka extermination camp.[7][8][9][10] The Nazis demolished the 18th-century Jewish cemetery located on the left side of the road to Grójec, near Przylesie Street, and used its headstones for pavement. A monument now stands in its place.
