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

and by 5 October, out <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> total extermination,<br />

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

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

The Polish historian Janina Kiebo presented a fairly complete picture<br />

<strong>of</strong> the deportations <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 Beyce, 10 to Izbica, 1 to<br />

Kraniczyn, 2 to Trawniki) between 12 March and 15 July 1942:<br />

38 transports from Slovakia (2 to Chem, 2 to Dblin, 2 to Izbica, 3<br />

to Lubartów, 4 to Lublin, 2 to uków, 1 to Midzyrzec Podlaski, 5<br />

to Naczów, 2 to Puawy, 5 to Rejowiec, 10 to Sobibór) between 27<br />

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

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

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