Abstract:
With the growing mobilization of Polish workers for forced labor in Germany, the Jewish work force acquired greater significance for the Nazi administration in Poland. Many Jews who were engaged in military production for the Germans were spared from deportation. Dwells on a labor camp that functioned in Radom, first on Szwarlikowska Street (August 1942-November 1943) and then on Szkolna Street (until July 1944). The establishment of the camp on Szwarlikowska was preceded by the deportation of 27,000 Jews to Treblinka and the shooting on the spot of 2,000 others. Ca. 3,000 Jews were then imprisoned at Szwarlikowska. Discusses the conditions there and later at Szkolna, the kind of work the inmates performed, the Jewish police in the camps, relationships with Poles, periodical group murders of inmates by the Nazis, and an attempted escape from the Szkolna camp. In July 1944 the remaining inmates were deported to death camps. Some of them survived.
