Warsaw Concentration Camp - Pabst Plan

Pabst Plan

According to the Nazi Pabst Plan, Warsaw was to be turned into a provincial German city. To accomplish this goal, the Jewish population was grouped together in the Warsaw Ghetto before being eventually removed and mostly exterminated. The Nazis' next step in their plan was the removal of the non-Jewish population of the city, which thus became the target of the łapanka roundup policy of closing-off a street in an attempt to detain large numbers of civilians at random. Between 1942 and 1944, there were about 400 victims of such roundups in Warsaw daily and the detainees were being first transferred to the KL Warschau custody.
