Abstract:
Argues that Nisko, a concentration camp established in Poland on the River San in 1939, was an important stage in the process leading to the Final Solution. Surveys the development of Nazi anti-Jewish policy in 1938-39 and the decision to find a territory to which European Jews could be deported. In occupied Czechoslovakia, male Jews from Mährisch-Ostrau were assembled in October 1939 and transported, under Eichmann's supervision, to Nisko, where they themselves had to establish the concentration camp and pay all the expenses. Male Jews from Vienna were also interned there. Only four transports reached this place; for technical reasons, further internments were suspended.
