Abstract:
On the basis of German documents and records of the Jewish Social Self-Help, describes the living conditions of Jews in the Radzyń subdistrict of the Lublin district under Nazi occupation. The 32,432 Jews of the subdistrict had to absorb many thousands of Jews deported from other parts of Poland as well as from the Reich, most of whom arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs. There was a catastrophic lack of housing, food, and other esentials of living; the JSS was able to help only in very slight measure. The situation was worsened by contradictory directives from the civil administration, which tried sporadically to ameliorate the situation, and the SS terror regime. Chronicles the stages of Operation Reinhardt and subsequent operations; at the end there remained in the subdistrict only a few Jews who were either in hiding or joined the partisans.
