"To słowo" z nagrodą BBC Audio Drama Awards 2024. 29 czerwca 1943 roku z Tarnogrodu wysiedleni zostali bracia (Ryszard - 9 lat, Henryk - 7 lat, Marian - 5 lat, Stanisław - 3 lata) Mulawa wraz z rodzicami (Michaliną i Andrzejem). Po kilku dniach trafili oni do obozu przejściowego w Zwierzyńcu. Róża i Jan Zamoyscy, widząc, w jak tragicznym położeniu znalazły się rodziny z dziećmi, wystarali się o możliwość dostarczania na teren obozu gorącej zupy oraz butelek z mlekiem dla najmłodszych. Wkrótce potem, na skutek próśb żony, ordynat zdecydował się na ryzykowne rozmowy z lubelskim gestapo oraz z szefem policji i SS Odilo Globocnikiem, w wyniku czego uzyskał jego zezwolenie na odebranie młodszych dzieci z obozu. W sierpniu 1943 roku Róża i Jan Zamoyscy uratowali z hitlerowskiego obozu w Zwierzyńcu czterysta sześćdziesięcioro dzieci, które z czasem wróciły do swoich rodzin lub krewnych. W ich gronie znaleźli się Marian i Stanisław Mulawa.

The expulsions encompassed the districts of Hrubieszów, Tomaszów Lubelski, Zamość and Biłgoraj, and were completed in March 1943. In total, 297 Polish villages were depopulated. A concentration camp was created in Zamość around the streets of Piłsudskiego and Okrzei. Initially, it was a transit camp for Soviet POWs, rebuilt and expanded with 15 new barracks added for the imprisonment of rounded up families. SS-Unterscharführer Artur Schütz was appointed the camp's commandant. From there, transports of children no older than 14 years of age - whose names have already been Germanized - were sent elsewhere. Historians estimate that 116,000 people in total were forcibly removed from Zamojszczyzna, among them 30,000 children. The camp in Zamość (pl), located on S. Okrzei street, served as the transit point for selections and further deportations. In the first month of Action Zamość the camp processed 7,055 Polish inhabitants of 62 villages. The camp in Zamość processed 31,536 Poles according to Germany's own records,[1] or 41,000 based on postwar estimates. Dispossessed Polish families were sent to other transit camps as well including Zwierzyniec in the Zamość County, which processed 20,000-24,000 Poles (12,000 between July and August 1943). Transit camps existed in Budzyń,Frampol, Lublin (on Krochmalna street), Stary Majdan, Biłgoraj County, Tarnogród, Wola Derezieńska, Old Wedan, Biłgoraj and also in Puszcza Solska. Polish girls at a Nazi-German camp in Dzierżązna near Zgierz. Among the prisoners were children resettled from Zamojszczyzna (1942-1943). Children suffered the most in those camps. The average stay lasted several months. Starvation, cold, disease were fatal for them a lot more often than for adults. Separated from their parents, children were transported in cattle wagons (100 up to 150 children in one wagon) to other destinations. Many of them were sent to a Kinder KZ (concentration camp for children) run side by side with the Łódź Ghetto. Kinder KZ processed up to 13,000 children. The dramatic news of the children from Zamojszczyzna quickly spread through the entire country. Polish railwayman were forwarding messages about transports to inhabitants of the cities where transports were stopping by. There were several stations where residents risked rescuing the children, such as Sobolew, Żelechów, Siedlce, Garwolin, Pilawa and Warsaw. Another deportation action, called Operation Werwolf, was conducted during the summer of 1944 ahead of the Soviet advance. Many of the inhabitants were forced to evacuate after being previously transferred into these areas by Germany as early as 1939.[13] Entire families ended up in concentration camps at Majdanek (up to 15,000 prisoners of Action Zamość) and Auschwitz, before deportation to forced labour in the Reich. At Majdanek, due to severe overcrowding, entire train-loads were kept in open fields numbered from III to V.
