Willie Sterner Describes Deportation

A large aktion took place in Wolbrom on 5 September 1942, after the Sabbath, an hour before the first slichot (penitential prayers) were due to be said. Most of the Jews were deported to the Belzec death camp where they were murdered in the gas chambers. Those who were deemed "fit for work" were sent to Plaszow or other forced labor camps.
