TFA blurb review
During World War II, the Jews of Dęblin and Irena were persecuted and murdered as part of the Holocaust in the Lublin District in Poland. This persecution included a Nazi ghetto, several forced-labor camps and deportation to extermination camps during 1942. A ghetto was established in Irena in November 1940. Beginning in May 1941, local labor camps became collection centers for Jews sent there from the Opole and Warsaw Ghettos. The first deportation was in May 1942 and took 2,500 Jews to Sobibór extermination camp. A week later, two thousand Jews arrived from Slovakia and hundreds more from nearby ghettos. In October, the ghetto was liquidated; about 2,500 Jews were deported to Treblinka extermination camp. Unusually, the labor camp was allowed to exist until July 1944. One of the last Jewish labor camps in the Lublin District, it enabled hundreds of Jews to survive the Holocaust. Some survivors returned home, where they faced harassment and murders, but all left by 1947.

 * Thanks so much for the blurb! Unfortunately, none of the free images available quite captures the subject. I think that if a caption cannot be included, it may be best to run without an image. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  19:26, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
