size of the ghetto of Warsaw is indicated as equal to
50,000 persons, which is perhaps inferior to the actual number. In fact, in his
report concerning the liquidation of this ghetto in May 1943, following the
second uprising, the SS-Brigadeführer Stroop boasts of having captured and
exterminated 56,065 people. Let us add that the systematic and total
destruction of the ghettos in Poland began in the second half of 1942 with
numerous murders and the transfer of the survivors to the concentration camps.
The work camps enumerated in the Korherr Report, with their effectives
at the beginning of 1943, are those which were found in Germany in the regions
of Konigsberg, of Breslau and in Posnania. In the actual state of our
knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the data of Korherr on this
subject beyond the beginning of 1943. What is known is that the conditions of
existence in these camps were as harsh as those which prevailed in the
concentration camps, less the gas chambers and the selections. Their
liquidation by the sending of the survivors to the concentration camps began in
the middle of 1944.
The next to the last category of persons of which
mention is made in the Korherr Report is that of emigrants. Their census is
given as of 12-31-42, and, according to countries, their numbers are the
following:

Of course the "emigrants" are a category
of which the interest is relatively secondary when compared to other victims of
the anti-Semitic persecution. But it is not useless to point out that
progressively, according to the conquests of the Wehrmacht, a certain number of
emigrants" were taken back from the countries which had received them and
deported. For example, in the statistics concerning 75,721 Jewish deportees of
the camp at Drancy classed by nationality, one finds 7,000 Germans, 4,500
Russians, 3,300 Rumanians, 2,500 Austrians, 26,300 Poles and a thousand
Danzigers, Latvians, Lithuanians and
