Further
to the Note on the conversation between SS Hauptsturmbannfuehrer
Eichmann, Dr. Ebner of the Gestapo and the Special
Representative of Reichskommissar Dr. Becker, it is
stated that the Resettlement operation to Poland will begin at
22.00 hours on October 20, 1939, with the first transport of
1,000 Jews fit for work, from the Aspang Rail Station in
Vienna.
The
Jews were supplied by the Jewish Community with tools for the
erection of a barracks village at Nisko, where transports of
Jews fit for work have already been sent from Maehrisch-Ostrau.
The Jews on the transport will also be given foodstuffs for 4
weeks.
Further
transports will leave regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays of
each week with 1,000 Jews. The second and third transports
will consist of Jews and Jewesses at present under arrest in
Vienna, whose departure date has been set by the Gestapo. From
the fourth transport on, complete families will already be
sent.
When
the barracks village at Nisko has been completed, the Jews who
arrived with the first transport will in continuous
progression be distributed to the interior to the formerly
Jewish villages in that area.
The
composition of the transports is arranged by the Jewish
Community of Vienna (as long as this remains possible) and a
Jewish transport management is responsible for the transports.
In addition, each transport is accompanied by 25 police (Schupo)
officers under the command of a police captain, who must
prevent all danger of escape by use of arms.
