Jewish relocations to ghettos in Poland

Mass relocations of Jews to ghettos in occupied Poland began in early 1940. It was a systematic process of Jewish population isolation, initiated by Nazi occupiers, which led to the creation of the largest ghettos in history, including the Warsaw ghetto housing over 400,000 people. These actions were a key stage in the implementation of the Nazi policy of Jewish extermination.

As a result of the operation, approximately 6,000 people were arrested, of whom over 3,500 were murdered in mass executions, mainly in Palmiry near Warsaw.
