... At 5 o’clock, it was learned that Barasz had been
told all the Jews of Bialystok, together with the
machines and the factories, would be transferred to
Lublin, where they would carry on their work. An
order was issued that all Jews who lived on Polna, Neu-
welt, Czestochower, Bialostoczaner, Okrongle, Szlia-
checzke, Linas Hatzedek, Czysta, Zytnia, Zamenhof,
Kupiecka, Geldowa and nearby streets, must report to
depots at Jurowcer, Fabryczna, Czepla, Nowogrudska,
Chmielna and the Judenrat gardens at 9 o’clock in the
morning for transfer to the railroad station. Those not
complying with this deadline would be shot if found in
the prohibited areas. It thus became clear to everyone
that the entire ghetto was targeted for destruction.
Already at seven in the morning, it was impossible to
pass through the streets because so many thousands of
Jews were painstakingly making their way toward the
depots. ...Source passage 5

... At first the Nazis defined the ghetto area as several
small streets, in the poor Jewish section, whose limited
space would have imposed impossible hardships on the
victims, with no chance of survival in such conditions.
After the Judenrat intervened, however, promising the
Nazis additional contributions of jewelry and other val-
uables, the Germans agreed to extend the ghetto over a
wider area, including Czestochowska, Polna, Kupiecka,
Lipowa, Czepla, Jurowecka, Fabryczna, Bialysto-
czanska, Neuwelt and the adjacent streets. The Jews
were given just three days to abandon their homes and
move into the ghetto. ...Source passage 6

... ‘“At four in the morning on Thursday, July 3, the
Nazis dragged from their homes men from the ages of
16 to 60. They closed off the following streets: Przejarz,
Grochowa, Krakowska, Dambrowski, Kupiecka,
Zamenhof, Bialystoczanska, Ruzanski, Zydowska,
Bronska, Geldowa and Lipowa. Many foresaw what
was coming and were able to hide. Approximately a
thousand of the arrested men were lined up for ‘selec-
tion.” [Who would live and who would die.] Workmen
and artisans able to show callouses on their hands were
separated from the rest and freed. The others, members
of the intelligentsia and merchants, were detained. They
were tortured all night and into the morning. Finally
two hundred were loaded onto a truck that headed out
of town. From that moment on, every trace of those
Jews disappeared. It later became known that these two
hundred were shot by the Nazis at Pietrasze Field,
approximately two kilometers outside the city in the
direction of Waszlykowa. They included: Dr. Jakow
Rajfer; Wajnszel, instructor at Druskeniki Gymnasium;
Aron Murkis, instructor at Zeligman Gymnasium; the
merchant ...Connected nodes
