==History== thumb|left|Monument to Poles deported by the Soviets from the local railway station to Siberia during World War II About 1,600 Jews lived in the town prior to World War II, making up 85% of its population. The town was occupied by Nazi Germany in September 1939, and shortly thereafter given to the Soviets as part of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. During this time, many Jewish refugees fled from areas under German control and resettled in Czyżew. The Germans reoccupied Czyżew in June 1941, and most of the town's Jews were executed by firing squad in a nearby forest. One or two hundred professionals deemed relevant to the war effort were housed in a ghetto for forced labor, with the ghetto's residents later being transported to Zambrów and murdered.
