Deportation Of Jews
Overview:
This was commonly referred to as "resettlement" to avoid alarming many of the Jewish people. Many of the Jews were deported from nearby ghettos, some as early as December 1941. The SS began to empty the ghettos in earnest. German SS and police personnel forced Jews to march from their homes or places of work to a central point. Ghettos were emptied block by block. Jews were beaten and tortured to speed up the process. Anyone refusing to cooperate was shot. From there, they were forced to board freight cars bound for Malkinia. When the trains arrived in Malkinia, they were diverted along a special rail to Treblinka, a death camp. This same procedure was carried out in many ghettos in occupied areas of Europe. The Nazi's sent them to six camps, which were all located in Poland. The Nazis called these six camps "extermination camps."
In two years, more than two million Jews were deported from the ghettos. By the summer of 1944, only a few ghettos remained in eastern Europe.
