Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm

[CougarGA7]

Maybe someone can help me out here.

Jews in Sudetenland Deported to Poland

...Most of them are evidently headed for labor camps in the interior of Poland.

What labor camps? At this point the only camp in Poland that is open as far as I know is Stutthof which was opened on September 2 right after the invasion. Stutthof had about one of the most obscene war crime imaginable take place in it by Rudolf Spanner who owned a soap factory in nearby Danzig and in 1940 started turning prisoners from Stutthof into soap.

Does anyone have a link on any open labor camp in Poland that these people are going to or is this still a case where they are being brought to Poland and then chased across into the Soviet frontier which was also happening at this time.
