Plan for a Jewish quarter
Under orders from the occupying forces, the Nowa Kurier Warzawski publishes this plan on 15 October, 1940. All Jews residing outside this demarcated area were required to relocate to a newly established ghetto, situated around the old Jewish quarter, within a matter of weeks. This decree triggered disputes between ‘Jews and Poles’ concerning the placement of the ghetto’s borders. This map denotes the new borders of the enclosed ghetto, marked in red, from November 16, 1940.
