Błaszki was founded in the 14th century. [5]
The first historical mention of Jewish residents dates back to 1717. [5] In the 1860s, Jewish residents accounted for 60% of the total population. [5] Until the 1920s an estimated 400 Jewish families and 215 Christian families resided in Blaszki. [6] The Jewish community was frequently targeted by anti-Semitic attacks. [6] Additionally, they were the victims of organized anti-Jewish boycotts which arranged to open a Christian shop next door or directly across from every Jewish shop. [6] The Holocaust brought an end to this community. [5] In september 1939, immediately after the German invasion of Poland, the Nazis arrested ten of the most important members of the community and executed them [5] On December 20, 1939, [5] the Błaszki Jews were transported to Łosice, Sarnaki and Sokołowo.

In 1932 a local Zionist activist and writer Herman Solnik , published Fun alṭn ḳloysṭer (From The Old Monastery, in Yiddish), a book of tales and legends about Błaszki and the then Kalisz County. [7]
