economic life of this nation into considerable disorder. The first district,
which no longer has Jews, is Biala Podlaska. The process is carried out as
follows: the district people determine some location as the area of residence
for the Jews of the entire administrative district. In clearing up [their
district], the two districts of Biala Podlaska and Radzin have jointly selected
one city as a Jewish living area, namely Miendzyrzec. Since this
place lies in the territory of the administrative district of Radzin, however,
Biala Podlaska no longer has any Jews. […] In order to bring about order
in the part of the country around Lubatow [Lubartów], the district chief of
Lublin-Land decided upon the ghetto of Lubatow as the Jewish residential
area for the Jews of the communities of Tysmieniec, Uscimov, Firlej,
Kamionka, Luszawa, Lucka, Samokleski, Tarlo, and Ostrow as a city including
Niemce. All Jews of the communities named must leave the communities
no longer than 24 hours after publication of this police order of
the district chief and set out for the Jewish living area of the city. The Jews
who are found outside of Lubatow after that period has elapsed are punished
with death. The Jewish Council of the city of Lubatow is under obligation
to accommodate, to register, and if necessary provide room and
board for the Jews moving to Lubatow from the above cited communities.”
It is clear from this article that if an area was declared to be ‘Jew-free,’ this
in no way had to mean the extermination of the Jewish population concerned!
