Nazi ghetto in occupied Lviv From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lwów ghettos were two (2) Nazi ghettos which were established and liquidated between 1941 and 1943, in the city of Lwów, Ukraine, by the Nazi German officers. As part of the 1941 Lwów pogroms and violent riots, the first ghetto in Lwów was established sometime in July of 1941; and was used as a holding place for a lot of Jewish men, residing in Lwów. They were forced to live in barracks, and were used for forced labor, prior to their mass executions by gunshooting.
It is believed by scholars, historians, and other people, that almost c. 7000 Jewish residents residing in Lwów at the time of the June-July pogroms and violent riots, were killed in Lwów. Most of the Jewish men were tragically mistreated and murdered in the gunshooting in the dug-up pits. The second other ghetto in Lwów was established on or around c. 8 November 1941, for the about c. a little more than 5000 survivors of the pogroms and violent riots of Lwów, of June and July, 1941. The liquidation of the second ghetto began in late 1941, after the Janowska concentration camp, was established, and Jewish men and women were sent as forced laborers to the concentration camp.
The major, big liquidation of the second ghetto began in the summer of 1942, and it was totally liquidated by early June 1943. The Jewish leaders of the Lwów Ghetto, such as the Judenrat members and the head of the Judenrat, for example, were executed and murdered by hanging unfortunately early September 1942. A well-known Holocaust photograph of the tragedy of the hanging, murder, killing, and mass execution, is shown here. The ghetto residents fit for work were sent away to the Janowska concentration camp, which was just near a town outside of Lwów, for exploitation, personally, whilst (while) the weak, very young, and elderly Jewish ghetto residents were sent to the Bełżec extermination camp for death by very lethal gas. During liquidation, about 823 Jewish residents either survived by escaping and fleeing the ghetto, or by surviving in concentration camps, and stayed alive until they greeted their liberators, in late July of 1944. Lwów was liberated on 27 July 1944, after three (3) of so very long and of so very exhausting years of facist enemy occupation, by the Soviet Bolshevik Red Army, as they quickly and rapidly advanced through the central and eastern European territories ruled by Nazi Germany.
