Grochów, which covered almost the entire area of today Praga-Południe quarter, was incorporated into Warsaw in 1916. In 1938, its population totaled 40 thousand. From the beginning of the 1920s until 1942, a kibbutz was in operation in Grochów. It was the largest and the most well-known centre preparing Jews for emigration to Palestine.
