Sobibór extermination camp
The camp in Krychów was managed by the Nazi German administration of the General Plan East preparing latifundia for the colonists brought in "Heim ins Reich" (Home into the Empire) from among the foreign "Volksdeutsche". Due to proximity of the Sobibór extermination camp many of the Jews who dug the irrigation ditches in these camps were simply marched under the German guard for extermination by gassing at Sobibór, along with the imprisoned Romani people.
