Deportation - Deportation in The Holocaust

Deportation in The Holocaust

Nazi policies openly deported homosexuals, Jews, Poles, and Roma from their native places of residence to extermination camps or concentration camps set up at a considerable distance from their original residences. This was the policy known as the "Final Solution". The euphemism "deportation", occurring frequently in accounts of the Holocaust in various locations, thus means in effect "sent to their deaths" — as distinct from deportations in other times and places.
