history
On February 15, 1941 , a deportation train with captured Jewish citizens drove here from Vienna to the “Jewish residential district” set up by the National Socialists ( Gestapo ), a collection camp as part of the Holocaust . A second followed on February 26th. In Opole, the newcomers were confronted with cold, hunger, accommodation in mass quarters and unsustainable sanitary conditions. They died quickly. According to the activity report of the Jewish Social Self-Help of February 13, 1942 for the period from November 1, 1941 to January 31, 1942, "in Opole in the course of the past year 18.8% of the prewar residents, 21.4% among the resettlers from Vienna and 24% of the resettlers from the Generalgouvernement "(Aussiedler = persons deported by the SS). In the spring of 1942 the murder of the prisoners in the “ghetto” began. On March 31, 1942, a train organized by the SS left for the Belzec extermination camp , and deportations to the Sobibor extermination camp followed in May and October 1942 . Most of those deported from Vienna to Opole were murdered. Of these 2003 Viennese Jews, 28 are known to have survived.
