The 35,810 972 Jews who were moved into the Lublin district were
part of a group of 69,804 who had been moved there by means of 72
transports between 11 March and 15 July 1942, 973 viz.:
From Altreich, Ostmark, Protectorate (not counting
the 6,615 Jews deported to Nisko): 29,195
from Slovakia: 39,889
Total: 69,084
There is no doubt that at least part of these western Jews were later
evacuated to the east. For example, the report by the county chief of
Lublin dated 5 October 1942 to the governor of the Lublin district,
mentioned above, stated that out of the 8,009 Jews who had been resettled
into the county territory, 3,692 had already been transferred elsewhere.
But there is no doubt either that these transferred persons were
counted twice in Korherr’s report. In fact, 23,500 Jews from the Altreich
and from Ostmark who had been deported to the Lublin district 974
were sent to Sobibór according to Schelvis.
Out of the 57,752 Jews deported from Slovakia according to Vlasta
Kladivová 975 (Korherr has 56,691), 18,746 went to Auschwitz and the
remaining 39,006 into the district of Lublin, a figure practically identical
to the one mentioned previously (38,889) given by the Polish historian
Janina Kie�bo�. 921 As we have seen, Schelvis writes that 28,284
went to Sobibór.
As far as the 69,677 Jews from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
are concerned, 18,004 of the 39,722 who had been evacuated to
Theresienstadt were deported to Treblinka between 19 September and
22 October 1942 976 and 10,000 of the 14,001 moved into the Lublin district
were sent to Sobibór according to Schelvis.
From the 19,433 Jews of the Altreich, Ostmark, and the Protectorate
who initially went to the �od� ghetto 11,233 were transferred in March,
August, and September 1942, 977 hence they are already included in the
145,301 Jews transited through the Warthegau camps.
972 Except for the 6,651 Jews already deported from Ostmark to Nisko and other places.
