After the outbreak of World War II, part of the Jewish community fled. In December 1939, the German campaign to make the area Judenrein (empty of Jews) led to the deportation of the Jews of Poznan. The remaining few ended up in labour camps from September 1939 to August 1943.

Nagyrozvagy was a village in Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen county in northeastern Hungary.

By 1933, 9,000 Jews lived in Munich, amounting to 1.2% of the population. Between 1933 and 1938, 3,574 Jews left the city.

In November 1941, 980 Munich Jews were deported to Riga and in April 1942, 343 were deported to the Piaski ghetto in the Lublin district. Between May and August 1942, 1,000 Jews were deported from Munich to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia.

When the war ended, Munich became the centre for the Jewish Agency’s welfare activities in the Displaced Persons’ (DP) camps.

The Germans entered Minsk on 28 June 1941. A ghetto was created one month later. Between 1941 and 1943, the Minsk ghetto was the largest in occupied Europe with 100,000 occupants. When the ghetto was destroyed, the SS deported Jews to the Sobibor extermination camp in occupied Poland.

Before May 1944, Maramures had over 150 Jewish communities and was one of the largest Jewish communities in eastern Europe.

In May 1944, 150,000 Jews were deported from the Maramures region to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. 90% of the Jews who lived in the region were murdered in the Holocaust.

Of the survivors, only about 4,000 returned to the region where they settled in Sighet, Satu-Mare and Baia Mare. Today, the Maramures Jewish communities no longer exist, with most Jews having emigrated from there to Israel.

In 1900, Mako had 1,642 Jews, less than 5% of the total city population of 33,722. This community was largely destroyed during the Holocaust of World War II, when Jews were deported to extermination camps, where most were killed in the last year of the war.

Upon Nazi occupation most of the Jewish inhabitants of the city were forced into the Luck ghetto, and then murdered at the execution site not far from the city. In total, more than 25,000 Jews were executed there at point-blank range.

During the Holocaust, 99% of the Jews from the Lublin district in the Generalgovernate of German-occupied Poland were murdered, along with thousands of Jews who had been deported to Lublin from elsewhere.

Initially, the Jews of the Lublin Province were not organised into ghettos as they were elsewhere. Eventually, an official ghetto was established in Lublin on the 24 March 1941.

The Nazis established more than 200 labour, prison and concentration camps in the Lublin Province, including three extermination camps: Sobibor, Belzec and Majdanek. At the same time, Lublin remained one of the centres of the resistance movement in Poland.

From the beginning of the Nazi occupation, the Jews of Łódź Province were subjected to various forms of persecution. The ghetto established in the city of Łódź in Łódź County was the second largest in Nazi-occupied Europe. There were several other ghettos established within the county including one in Sieradz, established in February 1940, where 2,000 Jews were crowded together in an area previously inhabited by a few hundred people. The majority of Jews from Lodz county were transported to Chelmno extermination camp.

Several Boys came from the counties of Pabiance, Pajeczno, Radomsko, Sieradz, Wielun, Zdunska Wola, and Zgierz in the Lodz Province.

In 1939, Krynica-Zdroj was occupied by the German army. The Jewish inhabitants were sent to ghettos in Grybow, Bobowa, and Nowy Sacz. After the ghetto in Nowy Sacz was dissolved in 1942, its inhabitants were transported to extermination camps (mostly Belzec), where most of them lost their lives.
