The Shoah (1939–1945)
Liquidation of the Radom ghetto
Août 1942·Radom
The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The ghetto is emptied in two successive actions, its inhabitants sent to Treblinka.
Radom, the seat of a district in the Generalgouvernement, had two closed quarters, one in the center, the other in the Glinice suburb. They had been established in the spring of the previous year.
Both are emptied during the summer, through successive actions, and their inhabitants transported to Treblinka. A labor camp attached to the city's weapons factory is maintained, then evacuated to Auschwitz as the front approaches.
