The Community of Sierpc - Memorial Book (Sierpc, Poland) Translation of Kehilat Sierpc, Sefer Zikaron by E. Talmi, published by JewishGen in 2014.

There once was a Jewish community in the ancient Polish town of Sierpc. As hundreds of other Jewish communities in Poland, Jewish Sierpc is no more. On the eighth day of the Second World War, September 8, 1939, the Germans occupied Sierpc, burnt the synagogue, and remained until they were expelled by the Red Army in January, 1945. Before the start of the Second World War and the Holocaust, Sierpc had a population of 10,051, more than 30% of which was Jewish. Sierpc was nestled in the valley and surrounded by mountains.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
