Boundless Murder
The police carried out the National Socialist genocide of the Jews, Sinti and Roma. All branches of the police were directly involved in the registration, collection and murder of the victims.
When the war broke out in 1939 the Security Police forced the Polish Jews to live in ghettos. In the course of the Nazi annihilation policy almost all of the ghettos were forcibly dissolved by the end of 1943. The ghetto inhabitants were murdered or deported to extermination camps.
From the summer of 1941 mobile units of the police in the Soviet Union were already involved in murdering Jews as well as prisoners of war and civilians suspected of putting up resistance. From autumn 1941 the Jewish population, at first from the German Reich and then from the entire territory under German control, were being deported and murdered.
