History


Błaszki was founded in the 14th century.[5]


Jewish community



1700s to Holocaust


The first historical mention of Jewish residents dates back to 1717.[5] In the 1860s, Jewish residents accounted for 60% of the total population.[5] Until the 1920s an estimated 400 Jewish families and 215 Christian families resided in Blaszki.[6] The Jewish community was frequently targeted by anti-Semitic attacks.[6] Additionally, they were the victims of organized ant-Jewish boycotts which arranged to open a Christian shop next door or directly across from every Jewish shop.[6] The Holocaust brought an end to this community.[5] In september 1939, immediately after the German invasion of Poland, the Nazis arrested ten of the most important members of the community and executed them[5] On December 20th 1939,[5] the Błaszki Jews were transported to Łosice, Sarnaki and Sokołowo.[6]


Legacy


In 1932 a local Zionist activist and writer Herman Solnik [pl], published Fun alṭn ḳloysṭer (From The Old Monastery, in Yiddish), a book of tales and legends about Błaszki and the then Kalisz County.[7]
