The minutes of a meeting “on the subject of the evacuation of the
Jews of the General Government and the removal of the Romanian Jews
to the General Government,” held in Berlin on 26 and 28 September
1942, create yet more problems for Wittes and Tyas’ theses. The document
states: 1001
“A discussion has been proposed on:
1. The evacuation of 600 000 Jews of the General Government.
2. The deportation of 200 000 Jews from Romania into the General
Government.
Concerning item 1.: Urgent transports, proposed by the chief of
security police and by the SD, viz.:
2 trains per day from Warsaw to Treblinka,
1 train per day from Radom district to Treblinka,
1 train per day from Cracow district to Beec,
1 train per day from Lemberg district to Beec
would be implemented by means of 22 G-Wagen [= freight cars]
which have already been provided for this purpose by the directorate
of German railways at Cracow to the extent that this can be
done. […] After termination of the repair work on the line Lublin-
Chem, probably from 1 st November 1942, the other urgent transports
can be carried out as well, viz.:
1 train per day from Radom district to Sobibór,
1 train per day from Lublin North district to Beec and
1 train per day from Lublin Center district to Sobibór
to the extent possible and provided the required number of G-
Wagen are available.”
Thus, after 1 st November 1942, i.e. after the alleged homicidal gas
chambers at Majdanek are said to have gone into operation (October
1942), the alleged extermination of the Jews in the Lublin district was
implemented in its entirety at Beec and Sobibór. If the evacuation of
the Jews had stood for their extermination and if Majdanek had been
part of Aktion Reinhardt, this camp would have been a natural destination
for at least part of the Jews in the district of Lublin, yet they were
sent to Beec and Sobibór instead. This, as we shall see below, renders
even more questionable the fact that the Höfle message should have an
arrival (Zugang) of 12,761 Jews for Majdanek within the last two weeks
of December of 1942.
