Land of Zamosc Under German Occupation, 1939-1944


www.polamjournal.com/Library/Sophie_Knab_Index/Zamosc_under_German_Occupation/zamosc_under_german_occupation_1939-1945.html




" (...). The Nazis had planned to establish a “German Settlement District” in Zamość Region, which meant that the Poles who lived in the region had to be displaced and settlers of German origin, mostly from Eastern Europe had to be brought here. As a result, special camps for displaced Poles were set up in Zamość, mainly in Okrzei Street [and also at Zwierzyniec and Lublin]. In all, about 110 thousand [ethnic Polish] people were displaced from 300 villages. Children faced the most tragic fate; thousands of them died of starvation and cold. In response to the terror used against Polish people powerful partisan groups came into existence in the region. On 30 December 1942 near Zamość, in a place called Wojda the first big partisan battle took place and in a place called Osuchy the largest partisan battle in Poland was fought from 24 till 26 June 1944.

Before the war nearly 12 thousand Jews lived in Zamość. About 2/3 of them left Zamość in 1939 with Soviet troops and the rest were murdered in an extermination camp in Bełżec, located 40 km from Zamość. The Rotunda, where 8 thousand people were murdered, is now a mausoleum of war victims from Zamość Region. By the entrance to the Town Hall there is a Grunwald cross which was granted to Zamość on 12 October 1944 in recognition of the heroism of the residents in their fight against Nazi invaders. (...)"

"(...). The deportations took place from the end of [November of] 1942 to [mid-]1943. Altogether 110,000 [ethnic Polish] people including 30,000 children from Zamosc, Bilgoraj, Tomaszow and Hrubieszow districts were deported [or forced to flee their homes in order to avoid being deported]. In summer 1943 about 4,5 thousands children from 2 to 11 years old were sent for germanization in Reich. The remaining children were transported with or without their parents to the concentration camps, some of them were gased[, or killed by phenol injections to the heart, or killed by pseudo-medical experiments, or perished due to general maltreatment at the German camps at Chelmno, Auschwitz, and Majdanek, or died at the also German-run "transit" camps at Zamosc, Zwierzyniec, and Lublin, while others were dispatched to the Reich to perform slave labor there], [and still] others were taken to special villages in Siedlce and Sokolow districts [and also elsewhere (even as far away as the Eastern Pomerania)] designed for elderly and children [sometimes to be cared for by strangers]. The fate of many children from region of Zamosc never became known. The special brass band was established in the transition camp where children were separated from their parents - so that he music would silence out the screams of the children."

[Odin of Ossetia]

Doomed Ethnic Polish Children of Zamojszczyzna.

(...) the Germans set about clearing all Poles from the Zamość region to make way for German and Ukrainian colonists. What made this even more tragic was the suffering of around 30,000 Polish children.

Seized from their parents, sent to the Reich to be Germanised, exploited as slave labourers, starved or frozen to death in Holocaust trains, experimented on, killed with phenol injections, or gassed and incinerated in death camps.

This was the fate of thousands of Polish children at the hands of the Germans.

(...).

The victims were taken to what the Germans called transit camps but were in fact concentration camps. Many prisoners died there, mainly of hunger.

(...).

What made this episode of German barbarism even more tragic was the suffering of around 30,000 Polish children.

Separated from their parents and with no one to take care of them, they died like flies at every stage of their horrific ordeal. No one knows exactly how many died but estimates put the number of child victims at over 10,000.

(...).

The above otherwise excellent article has some errors and important omissions:



1) The German colonization action lasted until August of 1943, not until March. There was a temporary break in the action after a series of defensive measures carried-out by the local Polish partisans, like when at the beginning of February, 1943, they (mostly from the BCh) inflicted a humiliating defeat on a numerically larger German force at the Battle of Zaboreczno (around 150 Germans from the police and the Landwacht killed - more exactly slightly over 100 policemen and a few dozen more from the Landwacht died - while many others, perhaps approximately 200, were wounded, while the Polish partisans suffered only one killed and two wounded), and also the successful attack on the village of Cieszyn in late January of 1943 resulting in over 160 German colonists, gendarmes, and SS-men killed and only a single Polish partisan dead, or the Battle of Wojda at the end of 1942.

But the German colonization action was resumed in June and continued until August of 1943. Altogether 13 000 ethnic Germans and 7 000 ethnic Ukrainians were brought in to replace the expelled 110 000 ethnic Poles.

The cowardly, self-centered, and indifferent attitude of the top AK leadership did not help Zamojszczyzna's Poles, as the AK ordered all the AK partisan units in Zamojszczyzna to disband by March of 1943; thus, emboldening the Germans to resume their colonization scheme in June of the same year. That is a little-known aspect of the war in Poland not many people are aware of.


2) A very precise number of the ethnic Polish children from Zamojszczyzna taken away from their parents to be Germanized is known, and it is documented to be 4 454. Later some of these "lucky" children were also reportedly killed by the Germans.


3) There is hardly any mention of the contribution of the Ukrainian nationalists to the ethnic Polish death toll from Zamojszczyzna, and it was significant.


4) The whole German occupation was a one big terror campaign to the ethnic Poles, and the German occupation in Zamojszczyzna lasted until late July of 1944.


5) Before the main German colonization drive during 1942-1943, there was a comparatively minor test expulsion by the Germans of seven villages in Zamojszczyzna on 06 November, 1941.


6) To be more precise the main German colonization action started on the night of 27-28 November, 1942.


7) Besides the mass murdered children, thousands of ethnic Polish adults also perished in Zamojszczyzna as a result of actions undertaken by both Germans and their ethnic Ukrainian collaborators.
