- BIALYSTOK DISTRICT:
-
- "... in the summer of 1943, Himmler issued an order to Gauleiter Erich
- Kock, the head of the Bialystok General District, and to the local
- commander of the Security Police to liquidate the Bialystok
- ghetto and deport its inhabitants to the General Government. [Civilian and
- army authorities argued that the Jews were vital to the war economy]. But
- Himmler did not accept ths argument. He order the immediate implementation
- of the deportation, and, as he no longer relied on the local German
- authorities, he entrusted the mission to the Operation Reinhard staff and
- the police forces subordinate to them. Globocnik personally came to
- Bialystok to coordinate the liquidation of the ghetto with the local German
- authorities." <1>
-
- "The deportations were carried out on August 18-19, 1943. From Bialystok
- 7,600 Jews were sent to Treblinka. Some other transports were deported to
- Majdanek and Auschwitz. The final liquidation of the ghetto met with stiff
- resistance from the Jewish Underground, which fought back, and many Jews
- found their death inside the ghetto during this uprising. But the Bialystok
- ghetto, the last ghetto in the entire district, was finally liquidated. The
- total number of Jews from ... Bialystok who were deported and murdered in
- Treblinka came to about 118,000..." <2>
