Just past the wooden wall leads to the Umschlagplatz. The sorting process has already begun, with many women and children on the right and older men on the left. Some will be sent on trains to labor camps, while others will go to Treblinka.
SS troops escorted Jews to this location, where they were sent by train to labor camps or where they boarded a train for the Treblinka extermination camp. Officer with many decorations and black gloves is Jürgen Stroop.
There is a map for every day of the fighting, as the operation was very fluid with no set battle lines. These maps are for April 27 and April 28, 1943. In addition to the points of fighting, the areas of the Ghetto that the Nazis set afire are shown.
