Abstract

This Record Group contains collections related to the history of small Jewish ghettos in Poland and the western part of the USSR. These three collections comprise photo-documets and correspondences illustrating the tragic fate of the local Jewish population in the German-organized and supervised ghettos.

Scope and Contents of the Materials

There are three collections, namely Mukacevo Ghetto; Wloclawek Ghetto; Bialystok Ghetto and Cherna Kapulkina Papers. The documents largely reflect the ghetto mundane life, the anti-Jewish actions and liquidations of the ghettos. These documents are in the form of photographs and correspondences

Collection Historical Note

Ghettoization became a common process of concetration of the Jewish population in the German-occupied Eastern territories. German authorities percieved ghettoization as the means of gaining control over the Jewish population until the further decision with regard to the fate of Jews would be taken by the central Nazi authorities.

Sub-Collection 3: Bialystok GhettoAdd to your cart.

This collection contains photographs of the Bialystok Ghetto in Poland.  The collection also contains a photocopied article entitled Survivors Refuse to Forget written for the San Gabriel Tribune.

The Bialystok Ghetto was established by the Nazis in German occupied Poland.  Jews that lived in the ghetto were put to work in forced-labor enterprises, primarily in large textile factories established within the ghetto.  The ghetto was liquidated in 1943 and most Jews were either killed within the ghetto or transported to the Treblinka concentration camp.
