Forced Accommodation for Jews in the Context of the Deportations at the Düsseldorf Abattoir (1939–1944)
- During the period 1941 to 1944, the former Düsseldorf abattoir served as an assembly camp for almost 6,000 Jewish men, women and children from the administrative district of Düsseldorf prior to their deportation. Their deportation was the end of a long process of disenfranchisement and social isolation, the penultimate stage of which was eviction from their own or rented housing and confinement in forced accommodation: a ‘Judenhaus’ (‘Jews house’, a tenement building where Jews were housed), communal accommodation or a camp. This paper investigates for the first time the background to and the process of ‘residential segregation’ in this region. It names the various actors of local municipal authorities and the NSDAP involved and uses examples to describe the situation faced by those who were persecuted.
