Individually, 3,400 have been evacuated from Piaski, Lublin district,<br />

and 2,000 Reich Jews have come in so far; 2,000 from Izbica, Krasnystaw<br />

district, and 4,000 Reich Jews arriving in it; from Opole and Wawolbnica,<br />

Pu�awy district, 1,950 have been evacuated […]”<br />

The report later mentions the resettlement of Jews from Mielec and<br />

Bilgoraj, which has already been discussed, and makes clear that the majority<br />

of the evacuees were unfit for labor: 692<br />

“On March 13, ’42, the Cholm district received approximately 1,000<br />

Jews, of whom 200 were accommodated in Sosnowica and 800 in W�odawa.<br />

On March 14, 1942, Mi�dzyrzec, Radzyn district, received 750 Jews.<br />

On March 16, ’42, the Hrubieszow district received 1,343 Jews, 843 of<br />

whom have been accommodated in Dubienka and 500 in Belz. The majority<br />

were women and children and only a minority of men fit for labor. On<br />

March 16, ’42, the Zamosz district received 500 Jews, all of whom have<br />

been lodged in Cieszanow.<br />

On March 22, ’42, 57 Jewish families with 221 persons were shifted<br />

from Bilgoraj to Tarnogrod.”<br />

The influx of western Jews into the Lublin district began in the middle of<br />

March 1942. The first transports routed there departed from the Protectorate<br />

on March 11, 1942, from the Altreich on March 13, from Slovakia on March<br />

27, from the Ostmark on April 9. The transports included numerous people<br />

unfit for labor, who were lodged in the villages of the district together with<br />

those able to work.<br />

On April 12, 1942, the chairman of the Jewish Council in Lublin posted a<br />

letter to Jewish Social Self-Assistance in Krakow, in which the “numbers of<br />

those resettled in the individual towns” were given for Mielec: 693<br />

“Be�z 460 persons<br />

Dubienka 787 persons<br />

Sosnowica 210 persons<br />

Mi�dzyrzec 740 persons<br />

W�odawa 770 persons”<br />

The letter continues:<br />

“In Izbica two transports arrived from the Protectorate with 1,000 persons.<br />

In Izbica 1,871 arrived from the Rhineland.<br />

In Piaski, Lu., 1,008 persons arrived from the Protectorate.<br />
