Uchanie (Yiddish: Nachan) is a town in Lublin Voivodship, Hrubieszów County, in eastern Poland, some 88 kilometers southeast of the city of Lublin. In August 1939, on the eve of the German invasion of Poland, the town was home to 1,450-1,700 Jews.^[1]Three weeks after, in late September 1939, the Red Army occupied Uchanie.^[2] In early October, after the conclusion of the German-Soviet border negotiations,^[3] the town was handed over to the Germans.

In early 1940, the German authorities set up a Judenrat in Uchanie. One of its tasks was supplying a quota of Jewish forced laborers to the occupiers.

In the summer of 1940, in preparation for the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Germans established a labor camp complex in and around Bełžec, a village on the Lublin-Lvov railway line, near the Polish-Soviet border.^[4] That camp complex was run by the notorious SS-Sturmbannführer Hermann Dolp.^[5] In June 1940, some 125 young Jewish men from Uchanie were rounded up and sent to the Obrowiec camp outside Hrubieszow, to work in land drainage. They stayed there until the end of the summer, and were then returned to Uchanie.^[6]...
