List of Jews deported from Vienna to Nisko on Oct. 20, 1939 and Oct. 27, 1939.

After the "incorporation" of the Austrian state into the German Reich, various Nazi authorities planned to settle large numbers of Jews in so-called Jewish reservations in the region around Lublin. The deportations were in accordance with the demands of local Gauleiter, who wanted to continue to appropriate Jewish houses and property. However, contrary to the original planning, the deportations to the Nisko area were soon stopped for various reasons (among others, transport capacities needed for the Wehrmacht; problems with the "resettlement" of so-called Volksdeutsche). In April 1940, on the orders of the Höherer SS- und Polizeiführer in the General Governorate Friedrich Krüger, the barrack camp set up in the village of Zarzecze, about 80 km south of Nisko, was torn down. Of the Jews deported from Vienna as part of the so-called "Nisko Action", 198 were initially able to return to Austria. Many of them were deported again in the following period.
