Pact. The Germans occupied Piaski on 17 September 1939. During the period from February to December 1940, Piaski was a destination, along with Glusk and Belzyce for the Jews expelled from Pomerania. In mid-February 1940, the German authorities removed approximately 1,000 Jews from Stettin. A smaller transport of Jews from the city of Schneidemuhl, another city in Pomerania, took place in March 1940. A Jewish Council (Judenrat) was also established at this time, under the leadership of Mendel Polisecki.
