The deportation of Jews by truck or train to concentration camps, forced labor sites, and killing centers was an integral part of the Nazis' systematic attempt to murder European Jews. Many accounts describe the terror and miserable conditions of deportations, which often took place in public spaces with the assistance of civilian police and railroad workers.
