The fund was transferred to the Jewish Historical Institute (ŻIH) in the 1990s. No specific details are known.
With their invasion of Polish territory in 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union finally agreed as to where the borders should be set between the two invader countries. One consequence of their arrangement was a prisoners-of-war exchange agreement, which concerned Polish Army soldiers based on the territorial criterion. The agreement enabled the POWs inhabiting the Red Army-occupied area before September 1939 to seek the status of Soviet Union citizen, which offered especially to Jewish-born POWs an opportunity to be delivered from the hands of the Nazis. The names of some of these POWs can be found in later-date lists of Jewish prisoners of the camp at 7 Lipowa Street in Lublin. These lists are contained in two funds: the camps’ (file 209/9; 209/16; 209/302); and the Jewish council of Lublin (file 253/3 – File re. Jewish POWs of the camp at 7 Lipowa Street, Lublin).
