On November 26, 1941, the ghetto was surrounded by gendarmerie, Gestapo and a special SS unit (Rollkommando) commandeered by Göhler. The first deportations started the next day between 5 and 6 am. The Judenrat was subsequently asked to help prepare the deportations for the following day, November 28, and to distribute notes to people who were supposed to be evacuated.
Hersh Traube testified after the war to The Jewish Historical Institute (Polish: Żydowski Instytut Historyczny or ŻIH) that the Judenrat informed 75 people to report to the square next to the local synagogue. They were allowed to bring one parcel containing personal belongings. Not everybody reported to the square. Göhler subsequently informed the Judenrat that he would take other members of each family in place of the members who did not show up. Some Jews went back home and returned with their parents who had gone into hiding.
Eyewitness Abram Krotowski testified at the trial in Stuttgart that his mother should have been deported. Since she did not report, Göhler had his 25-year-old sister Nacha arrested even though she had been allocated leave by Göhler. When she tried to escape, a police officer caught her and Lange personally killed her with the butt of his rifle....
