Witkowo

(District of Gniezno, Region of Poznań)

Translated by Jerrold Landau

 

The community numbered 219 souls in 1895, but declined to 98 by 1910. After the First World War (in 1921), only 46 Jews remained. The Nazis, who conquered the area in September 1939, deported the last of the Jews to the Generalgouvernement.
