My maternal grandparents were >from the shtetl Ostrowiec which I understand
was just outside the town of Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski in Poland.

According to my grandfather, all inhabitants were murdered in an
Einsatzgruppen action in 1941 and the village destroyed. I have
been unable to find ANY records >from this shtetl, making it nearly
impossible to trace my grandparents' relatives and their descendants.
There are a few incidental records that I see >from nearby towns and
villages, but not enough to find my family.

Has anyone seen records >from this village? If so, where?

Thank you,
