Abstract:
Slovakia was among the first states to deport its Jews to Poland. The Germans intended at first to ask that Slovakia deport 20,000 Jews fit for work, but the Slovak regime proposed to include whole families. Ca. two-thirds of the Slovakian Jews deported in 1942 were sent to the Lublin district, which became a major arena for the annihilation of Europe's Jews. Three extermination camps were established in the area: Bełżec, Sobibór, and Majdanek. As the camps were not yet ready, the Slovakian Jews were dispersed all over the Lublin region. Notes that they kept in contact with the Jews still in Slovakia, who sent aid to those in Lublin. Due to these contacts, information about the fate of the deported reached Slovakia, and the representatives of Slovakian Jewry tried and succeeded to halt the deportations.
