| Summary: | The files of the Plock-Ciechanów Gestapo are one of the few archival collections documenting the fate of the Jews in the small ghettos north of Warsaw. The archive reveals how the secret police controlled the Jewish population during the final months before “evacuation” to the camps in 1942. The archive also shows that the Jews refused to acquiesce in the Nazi policy of extermination. After the ghettos were liquidated, survivors either fled to the forests or sought refuge among the overwhelmingly Polish rural population. |
