History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/Przeprawa_I_Brygady_Legionów_Polskich_przez_Wisłę_pod_Annopolem,_1915.jpg" caption="Polish Legions' crossing of the Vistula near Annopol during World War I in 1915"] ::

Annopol received town rights in 1761, lost them in 1870 and regained on 1 January 1996. Its coat of arms shows 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.

Jews began to settle in the town in the early 1600s. 73% of the town's population was Jewish by 1921.

Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in 1939, Annopol was occupied by Germany until 1944. 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 forced labor camps in nearby Rachów and Janiszów. The ghetto was liquidated on October 15, 1943 and most of the Jews were murdered at the Belzec extermination camp.

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.

From 1975 to 1998, it was administratively located in the Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship.

Transport

Annopol does not have a rail station, but the town is placed along national road 74, which goes from Piotrków Trybunalski to the Ukrainian border at the village of Zosin. Voivodeship roads 824 and 854 also pass through the town. The Vistula river road bridge at Annopol was built in 1967.

Annopol is not to be confused with any one of Annopol towns in Ukraine, also spelled Hannopil (Аннополь, Ганнопіль) in Vinnyts'ka, Khmel'nyts'ka, Kharkivs'ka and Zhytomyr [[Oblast]]s. The town in the Yad Vashem listing, Anipoli, may be one of the Ukrainian Annopol towns, quote: [[Yiddish]] Anipoli or Hanipol. The town was an important Hassidic study center. The [[Maggid of Mezritch]] is buried there as well as Rabbi [[Zusha of Hanipol]] (note spelling), who is named after this town.
