History


Annopol received city rights in 1761, lost them in 1870 and regained in 1996. Its coat of arms show St. Anna, the patron saint of the town (the name means Anna's city, from Greek polis). It owes its picturesque location to the Lesser Polish Gorge of the Vistula. Annopol does not have a rail station, but the town is placed along National Road nr. 74, which goes from Piotrków Trybunalski to the Ukrainian border at the village of Zosin. The Vistula river road bridge at Annopol was built in 1967.

Jews began to settle in the town in the early 1600s.[5] By 1921, Jews were 73% of the town's population. During the Holocaust, a ghetto was created by the Germans. Jews from nearby villages and smaller towns, as well as from Kalisz and Łódź, were displaced to the Annopol ghetto. Jews from the ghetto were sent to the labor camps in nearby Rachów and Janiszów.[6] The ghetto was liquidated on October 15, 1943 and most of the Jews were murdered at the Belzec extermination camp.[7]

The history of Annopol is inextricably linked to that of Annopol-Rachów village close by, often combined as one and the same in written records.[7][8]
