Deportation
Road to Extermination

 

     << FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS   |   << RESISTANCE, REBELLION AND DESTRUCTION  |   CONCENTRATION CAMPS >>

Countless numbers of citizens were rounded up by German soldiers and those sympathetic to the German cause. They were gathered together, each with a minimum of their belongings. Eventually they would be loaded onto railroad cars once used to move cattle and transported to an often unknown destination.

The destination for many was a final one, for they would be sent by rail to one of the many concentration (extermination) camps throughout Europe...
