Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Have you ever heard of the holocaust? You probably have, it was when if you were a Jew then you would be murded or killed or sent to a camp or ghettos. Its very difficult time for Jews. A couple of these ghettos back then are Lwow ghetto witch happened in December of 1941. Also Pinsk ghetto witch happened in April 30 of 1942. Another very interesting ghetto is Dvinsk ghetto on May 1 of 1942. These ghettos are very important to the timeline because this was a very tough time back then.

The Lwow ghetto was established in December 1941. The Lwow ghetto was in the city of lwow now Lviv, the largest city in today\'s western Ukraine, was one of the larger ghettos established for Jews by Nazi authorities. Once holding over 120,000 Jews, killings and deportations to death camps reduced the population to less than 200 by the end of the war. On October 28 the biggest deportation took place in Krakow. There were 4,500 jews were deported to Belzec. After the deportation the lwow ghetto were sent to Krakow informing the Jews that Belzec was deadly terminus of the deportation trains. Lwow ghettos was a very difficult time back then.

On April 30 the Germans ordered the Jews of Pinsk to move into the ghetto by 4:00 p.m. on May 1. More than 20,000 persons were packed into the ghetto, a cramped area in a slum quarter. The liquidation of Pinsk Ghetto began in August 1941, with a murder of 11,000 males. This action was temporarily suspended when the murder-units were moved to another location. 18,000 persons were left in the ghetto, mostly women and children and some men who had managed to escape the first slaughter. The discovered list numbered 17,344 names with their birthdates, ghetto addresses, professions, and work place. In this time pinsk ghetto was very hard on people.

A really tough time in the holocaust is dvinsk ghetto. Dvinsk ghetto happened may 1 of 1942. On that date dvinsk is virtually liquidated. Jewish women and children in Daugavpils (Dvinsk), Latvia, who were forced by the Germans to bathe in the cold river during the Holocaust. In all the ghettos I have talked about a lot of people have died from this ghetto. Only 500 people survived in dvinsk ghetto.

In conclusion the holocaust was a very tragic time for Jews. There was a lot of ghettos like lwow ghetto, and pinsk ghetto, and dvinsk ghetto. In all those ghettos a lot of people died. And in lwow ghetto there were over 120,000 Jews. In pinsk ghetto over 20,000 Jews were murdered. In dvinsk only 500 people survived. Once again this time was very difficult time. I hope you learned a little about the holocaust.
