Anyone giving shelter to those designated for deportation, or the doorkeepers of buildings where those people hid, would themselves be deported.
The assembly point was at 7 Szklana Street, near the ghetto's central prison on 14-16 Czarnieckiego Street. There the deportees registered for the transport. Subsequently, they were held for 2-3 days in a building adjacent to the central prison on Czarnieckiego Street, or in the Marysin area, or in a school building on 25 Młynarska Street. The deportees were to begin assembling on January 13, 1942; the first transport was due to leave on January 16.
Oskar Rosenfeld, one of the chroniclers of the ghetto, described the beginning of the deportations in his diary. An entry from February 20, 1942, noted the following:...
