As part of the so-called Nisko Plan, a total number of seven transports with more than 5,000 people were dispatched from Ostrava, Katowice and Vienna in late October 1939. From Ostrava, 901 men went to Nisko in the first transport, and apparently 322 men in the second.
An appeal to the Jews of Ostrava
The appeal, published in the Ostrava editions of Czech and German newspapers, repeated the order issued by Adolf Eichmann, the main organizer of the so-called Nisko Plan.
