Biała Rawska [ˈbʲawa ˈrafska] ⓘ is a town in Rawa County, Łódź Voivodeship, Poland, with 3,081 inhabitants as of December 2021.
In the 12th century, it probably was an administrative center and the seat of a castellan, but first written document which confirms the existence of Bela, as it was called, comes from 1246.
At that time, the town was property of Bishops of Chelm, and was an important administrative center, seat of Biala County of Rawa Voivodeship.
Good times ended in the 1650s, during the disastrous Swedish invasion of Poland, after which the population of Biala was reduced to only 100 people.
In August 1942, German and Polish police surrounded the ghetto and forced Jews into trains destined for Treblinka.
