The approximate number of people confined to the ghetto was around 40,000 at the beginning and in late 1942 at its peak – right before mass deportations – 48,000. Most ghetto inmates were delivered by the Holocaust trains to their deaths at the Treblinka extermination camp. In June 1943, the remaining ghetto inhabitants launched the Częstochowa Ghetto Uprising, which was extinguished by the ''SS'' after a few days of fighting.〔The statistical data compiled on the basis of ( "Glossary of 2,077 Jewish towns in Poland" ) by ''Virtual Shtetl'' Museum of the History of the Polish Jews , as well as ( "Getta Żydowskie," by ''Gedeon'', ) and "Ghetto List" by Michael Peters at www.deathcamps.org/occupation/ghettolist.htm . Accessed July 12, 2011.〕〔 ==Ghetto history== The official order for the creation of the Ghetto in Częstochowa was issued on April 9, 1941 by ''Stabshauptmann'' Richard Wendler. In addition to Jews from Częstochowa, more Jews were being brought in by rail from nearby towns and villages of the ''Generalgouvernement'' part of occupied south-western Second Polish Republic, including from Krzepice, Olsztyn, Mstów, Janów, and Przyrów, on top of expellees from Polish lands annexed into the Reich at the beginning of war, mostly from Płock and Łódź. The ghetto inmates were forced to work as slave labour in the armaments industry, a majority of them in the expanded Polish foundry "Metalurgia" located on Krotka Street (which had been taken over by the German manufacturer HASAG), as well as in other local factories or workshops.〔 The Nazis began liquidating the ghetto on September 22, 1942 during Operation Reinhard (the day after Yom Kippur). The first wave of deportations concluded on the night of October 7. The action was carried out by German units together with their Ukrainian and Latvian auxiliaries (''Hiwis''), known as Trawniki men, under the command of captain of the ''Schupo'' police, Paul Degenhardt. Every day, the Jews were being assembled on Daszyński square for "resettlement" and then transported by the Holocaust cattle train to Treblinka extermination camp: around 40,000 victims in total.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Częstochowa Ghetto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
