Tomaszów Mazowiecki Ghetto

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tomaszów Mazowiecki ghetto was a concentration camp / assembly camp (ghetto) set up in Tomaszów Mazowiecki under German occupation . The later so-called ghettos at the time of National Socialism were part of the concentration camp system . Immediately after the German occupation of the city on September 5, 1939, the Jewish population was persecuted. There were selections for forced labor and the synagogue being burned down. Community members were forced to form a Judenrat .

On December 20, 1940, the occupying forces finally established a closely guarded Jewish residential area. The number of prisoners increased by taking refuge in Lodz and the surrounding area. This cordoned-off residential area was subsequently reduced in size and completely dissolved by the deportations and murder of the residents in the summer of 1943.
