304 J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, <strong>SOBIBÓR</strong><br />

1,200 Jews from Germany in Belzyce<br />

5,466 Jews from Germany in Piaski<br />

54 Jews from Germany in Luszawa<br />

652 Jews from Germany in Kamionka<br />

125 Jews from Slovakia in Firlej<br />

512 Jews from Slovakia in Ostrow Lub.<br />

The last transport of Jews from the Reich had left on 15 July 1942,<br />

and by 5 October, out of the 8,009 Jews who had arrived only 3,692 had<br />

been moved on across the Bug; the remaining 4,317 were still in the<br />

Lublin district. This is not really in line with a policy of total extermination,<br />

just like the “400 vehicles at their disposal without cost for the<br />

transportation of the sick, children, and baggage.”<br />

The Polish historian Janina Kie�bo� presented a fairly complete picture<br />

of the deportations of Jews into the Lublin district between 1939<br />

and 1942 in an article published in 1992. 921 In 1942 there were 72<br />

transports with a total of 69,084 Jews having the following origins: 922<br />

� 14 transports from Theresienstadt and Prague (2 to Izbica, 4 to Lublino,<br />

1 to Majdanek, 1 to Piaski, 1 to Rejowiec, 1 to Sobibór/Osowa,<br />

1 to Trawniki, 1 to Ujazdów, 2 to Zamo��) between 11 March and<br />

13 June: 14,001 deportees;<br />

� 14 transports from Altreich (1 to Be��yce, 10 to Izbica, 1 to<br />

March and 14 June 1942: 39,889 deportees;<br />

� 6 transports from Vienna (4 to Izbica, 1 to W�odawa, 1 to Sobibór)<br />

between 9 April and 14 June 1942: 6,000 deportees.<br />
