84 Sobibor (Holocaust: Reinhard)
Yitzhak Arad (Belzec) provides the following information regarding
Sobibor:
"...close to 100,000 Jews from the District of Lublin were
deported to Sobibor. Based on the number of Jews who lived in
small townships and villages in these areas before the war, and
considering the thousands of Jews who were expelled or fled from
territories in western Poland, which was annexed to Germany, and
who found refuge in the Lublin area, the actual number of those
who were deported to Sobibor is much higher. We may assume that
the total number of Jews from the District of Lublin who were
exterminated in Sobibor was about 130,000 to 140,000.
About 15,000 to 25,000 Jews were deported from Lvov and the
other ghettos in the District of Galicia to Sobibor in the
period ... after Belzec was closed." (Arad, Belzec)
