Lublin District
Commissioner of the town of Chełm
(Chełm County Governor)
To the Jewish Council of Elders
Attention Mr Fränkl
in Chełm
I hereby confirm that you have notified me about your wish to go
to Warsaw in order to purchase materials for the vaccination of the Jews
in Chełm.
In consultation with the county governor, I notify you that the removal
of Jews from the streets you have been told about must categorically conclude
by 10 December 1940.
Jewish craftsmen are to settle in the houses in the front on the left side
of Lembergerstr[asse]. It is your duty to ensure that barracks and wooden
houses are erected on the territory of the future ghetto which I have demarcated.
If necessary, the area of the settlement can be extended in the direction
of the fields behind the slaughterhouse. Allocation of any additional
streets in the direction of the town’s centre is out of the question.
I give you time until 31 March 1941 to remove Jews from the remaining
streets of Chełm. During the construction of the dwelling barracks in the
ghetto, you are to ensure that the erected houses do not damage the townscape
too much. Moreover, whenever you take up any additional land you
always need to first consult with the construction department of the municipality
in Chełm in order to determine its ownership.
