Here the first chapter in segregation begins: The aged are sheltered apart from the children. Later. there is further segregation. Males. who are able to withstand the rigors of manual toil are deported in cattle cars into the interior of Germany. Those males regarded as suspects are imprisoned in concentration camps. The remainder of the family group is then ready for the long trek to the "no mans land" of the interior. This wasteland the Germans describe as the "remainder area" or the "governors province." It is administered by Governor Prank and includes barely about 36.000 square miles. of which. however. about 8.000 square miles have been excluded for the socalled Jewish reservation of Lublin. In short. the Polish reservation into which the Nazis are now trying frantically to crowd in between 18.000.000 and 20.000.000 people actually covers an area of approximately 28.000 square miles or little more than the area of West Virginia. These deportations are carried out on a wholesale basis. An entire street is barred off and the occupants fall at one and the same time into the Gestapo dragnet. In the cities of Danzig.
