Ⅵ.History and Culture

-Tomaszów Mazowiecki was formed in 1788 in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland by owner these lands – Tomasz Ostrowski based on local supply of the iron ore. Ostrowski invited the first miners and metallurgists from Staropolski Okręg Przemysłowy – old-polish Industrial region. The settlement fell into the Prussian Partition in 1793 during the Partitions of Poland, and since 1815 in the Russian Partition. The metal industry was expanded around 1820. Tomaszów received city rights in 1830 during the November Uprising against the Russian Empire in Congress Poland. The first weavers came to Tomaszów from Zgorzelec. The first Lutheran church was established in 1823. In 1825, Antoni Ostrowski transferred from the village of Tobiasze to Tomaszów a Catholic parish with the church of St. Wenceslas – Duke of Bohemia, which was located at Wieczność St., in the area of the first Catholic cemetery (nowadays Słowackiego St). In 1831 Qahal was founded. By 1931 the Jewish population of the city grew to 11,310 inhabitants, or about 30% of the general population of Tomaszów.

-World War II

-During the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the city was overrun by Nazi Germany. The Great Synagogue was burned to the ground as first on 16 October 1939; the remaining two synagogues were destroyed on 7–14 November. The Ghetto for the imprisonment of 16,500 Polish Jews was created in December 1940, and closed off from the outside in December 1941. Hunger was rampant, followed by the typhus epidemic. In December 1942, 15,000 Jews were deported aboard Holocaust trains to Treblinka extermination camp. Some 200 Jews from Tomaszów are known to have survived World War II. The coat of arms of the city is Rawicz - the coat of arms of the Ostrowski family, the founders of Tomaszów. It shows a virgin in a red dress and a crown on her head riding a black bear.

-According to legend, the creation of the coat of arms is associated with England. It says that before his death, King Canute the Great (son of Sygryda, daughter of Mieszko I and Dobrawa, ruled in the years 1016-1035) bequeathed some of the crown treasures to his daughter Klotilda. Her brother Harold, who took over the kingdom after the death of her father, not wanting to let the sisters marry so great riches leave England, decided to kill her. At the urging of his advisors, he ordered Clotilde to be thrown into the pit with the black bear, believing that he would eat the girl. After a few days, he sent a messenger to bring him his sister's hair. To the king's surprise, he returned with the news that the predatory animal had not only harmed her, but had even allowed her to sit on it. Terrified by this miracle, Harold freed his sister and allowed her to marry his beloved prince of Lorraine, Gwalderbert. Their sons received a coat of arms with the Maiden on the Bear in memory of this event. The descendants of Clotilde and Gwalderbert spread to many countries. Some of them came to Poland during the time of Bolesław the Brave. So much for the legend. It is known for sure that the coat of arms of Rawicz appeared in Poland before 1109 during the reign of Bolesław the Wrymouth.

-In the following centuries it was used, apart from the Ostrowski family, by other noble families as well. Rawicz became the coat of arms of Tomaszów Mazowiecki only in 1926, so almost 100 years after it was granted city rights. Such a late adoption was due to the fact that for many years the city authorities did not attach much importance to this matter. This changed in connection with the commissioning of a new town hall building in 1927. The first proposals of the coat of arms, referring to the textile traditions of Tomaszów, were not approved by the inhabitants. Jan Krystyn Ostrowski, a descendant of the city's founder, was asked for help. Understanding the embarrassing situation of Tomaszów's authorities, he agreed that his family coat of arms should also become the town's coat of arms
