authorized at that time were among the 800 who were supposed to remain in
the town, and now received the cards. At 2 [o’clock], the Landrat, the director
of the Labour Exchange, and the officials came. (Previously the Landrat had
said that one more train car would depart and with that the project would be
at an end), and this time again they loaded about 30 people. After the truck
had departed, the Landrat spoke to the assembled. He said this is the last of
the transports, that the matter would not arise again, all would be required
to work, those without a trade especially in agricultural workplaces, all would
receive cards, and because of the fact that some hid and they [. . .] to appear
at the proper moment, the town would pay 50,000 zlotys. Then they began
to distribute cards. They made a list and delivered it to the Landratura. And
there, on the basis of that list, they made out the cards. Every evening, in the
presence of two Judenratniks²⁸⁴ and one official from the Landratura they distributed the cards, until on the day of 12/VI – the ordering of the cards was
completed.²⁸⁵ According to the official count of the Judenrat, there are now
2,281 Jews in the town. The number of men does not even come to a thousand.
The elderly, and the children were not included in the count. In the town, an
open Jewish neighbourhood has been created. On 8/VI, 200 people left Grabowiec
for Miączyn. There, 800 were released. From Uchanie 2,300 left and
300 were released. (There are 1,200 “emigres” from Grabowiec and 2,000 from
Uchanie.)
