In 1340, Radom was founded as part of województwo Sandomierskie.

In 1939, Jews of Radom were pressed into forced labor, including the rebuilding of the local arms factory.
The Germans also forced the Jews to pay contributions, and seized their property.
In December, 1939, the Germans established a Judenrat in Radom.

In late 1940 and early 1941, 10,000 Jews of Radom were deported to other communities, and Radom received Jews deported from places such as Kraków.
In March, 1941, the Germans established the Radom Ghetto, actually two ghettos: a "large ghetto" at Wałowa street in the Śródmieście district and a "small ghetto" in the Glinice district, and a Jewish Ghetto Police force.

In early 1942, the Germans carried out several aktions, arresting or executing Jewish community leaders, weakening the Judenrat.
In August, 1942, as part of Operation Reinhard, the Germans started to liquidate the Radom Ghetto.
The first large deportation emptied the smaller Glinice Ghetto, and later that month many Jews from the remaining larger ghetto were deported.
By the end of August, 1942, approximately 2,000 Jews were left in Radom.
The Jews were transported to extermination camps, primarily Treblinka and Auschwitz, and the remnants of the Radom Ghetto were turned into a temporary labor camp.

On June 26, 1944, the last Jews of Radom were transported to Auschwitz.
Only a few hundred Jews from Radom survived the war.
