Lublin

All six transports from the Protectorate that were dispatched to occupied Polish territory between May and June 1942 stopped at a railway ramp in Lublin after a two or three-day journey. A group of men on the train were selected for work in the Majdanek concentration camp. Other prisoners were sent to forced labour camps, such as Budzyń, Janowice, Komarów, Krasnik, Krychów, Labunie, Mokre, Ossowa, Poniatowa, Sawin, Sajczyce, Siedliszcze, Staw-Nowosiuolki and Trawniki. The elderly, the sick, and mothers with small children were sent straight to extermination camps for liquidation. In total, 6,022 prisoners were taken away by train from Terezín. Only three of them survived.

Transport AAh was dispatched from Prague on 10 June 1942 and passed through Bohušovice without stopping. For a long time, it was referred to as a “punitive” transport (in revenge for the assassination of Heydrich). Men aged between 16 and 50 were taken off in Lublin and the train continued to Sobibór, where another selection was carried out. Only a small group was picked for land amelioration work in the camp at Ujazdów near Sawin.
