| Summary: | The expulsion of the Jews of Slovakia to the district of Lublin began on 27 March 1942, and ended on 15 June 1942. Nearly 40,000 Jews were deported in 38 ‘transports’ Only a few of the deportees survived.Only a small proportion of the Slovak Jews were sent directly to the death camps. Most were sent first to ghettos which served as interim stops before the final deportation to the death camps.Contact was established at a very early stage between the deportees and the Jews left behind in Slovakia As a result, the Jews in Slovakia began to learn what was happening to the deportees in the places where they had been sent Steps were taken to help the deportees and there were even rescue attempts.The information from the deportees was conveyed to Jewish organisations in neutral countries, and from there to the free world There were many attempts by Slovak Jews to escape from the ghettos and the camps, but only a few succeeded in returning to Slovakia One of the aims of the escapees was to warn the Jews of Slovakia and other countries about the deportations, and the fate that awaited them. |
