Jewish inmates at the concentration camp in Berg, Norway, line up for roll call after being arrested on October 25, 1942. Almost all male Jews who were arrested during this phase of the deportation process were brought to this camp before being sent to Auschwitz. The main deportation of Norwegian Jewry was carried out on November 26, 1942.

Jews from the Tomaszów Mazowiecki Ghetto were transported to the Treblinka death camp, and were among the first Jews to die in the camp's new gas chambers. The new units had a capacity of 3800, an "improvement" over the three original chambers, which could hold 600 people at one time.

Jews from Chmielnik (Poland) were forced into a ghetto in March 1940. The subsequent overcrowding was exacerbated because Jews from beyond the region of Chmielnik were sent to the ghetto, as well. Here, Chmielnik Jews are loaded into open boxcars for deportation to Treblinka in the fall of 1942. Earlier in the year, from August 20 to 24, 21,000 of the region's Jews were shipped to Treblinka, where they died in the gas chambers.
