On October 4, 1939, Emil Ziegenmeyer was appointed Kreishauptmann [County Governor] of the Lublin County.[3]

Shortly afterward, the German authorities ordered the establishment of a Judenrat (Jewish Council) in the town, with Mendel Polisecki as its chairman.[4] Other known members of this body were Yosel Rosenblat, Yosel Ashman, and Moshe Drayblat.[5] On January 1, 1940, the Wehrmacht left Piaski, and the German Gendarmerie became responsible for maintaining the occupation regime in the town.[6]
