and south-western Germany. In any case, a total of 1,050,000 would
make allowance for any double counting.
In order to estimate the total number of uprooted Jews, however,
this figure must be increased by the addition of those who were evacuated,
fled or emigrated. According to the data given above, these
figures are as follows:
– Refugees from Poland to and through Romania, Hungary
and Lithuania 50,000
– Refugees from the Incorporated Provinces to the General
Government 60,000
– Refugees from German-occupied Poland to Sovietoccupied
territory 200,000
– Refugees from Bessarabia 100,000
– Evacuees from the Baltic States 30,000
– Evacuees from Western Byelorussia and Western
Ukraine 500,000
– Evacuees from the pre-1939 territory of Soviet Union 1,100,000
– Emigrants to overseas and neutral European countries
160,000
Total 2,200,000
This number again includes some refugees who have been
counted twice, among the following groups: (1) 50,000 refugees
from Poland who went to European countries; many of these emigrated
later, while others were afterwards deported; (2) 200,000
Jews who went from German-occupied Poland to Soviet-occupied
territory in 1939; some of them were afterwards removed to the east,
and therefore figure in the total of 500,000 Jews removed from
Western Byelorussia and the Western Ukraine. To avoid the possibility
of double counting, half of both these groups may be deducted,
thus giving a total of 2,100,000.
Summing up both sets of figures, i.e. figures relating to Jews deported
and expelled and to those otherwise displaced, a total of
3,150,000 is obtained.
This figure does not include. (a) the hundreds of thousands of
Polish Jews deported eastward from the General Government, and
(b) hundreds of thousands of Jews transferred by compulsion within
the limits of the same country or territory to be segregated in ghettos
and special Jewish towns, in particular in the General Government
and in the German-occupied Eastern Territories. Assuming that only
