History
Evacuation of Villages and Settlements
The depopulation of some areas was part of the German Germanisation policy, which aimed to unify German-populated areas and isolate Czech settlements into smaller numbers.[3] The depopulation was carried out in five stages: Zones 1 and 1b by 15 October 1942, Zone 2 by 1 April 1943, Zone 2b by 15 May 1943, Zone 3 by 31 December 1943, Zone 4 by 31 October 1943, and Zone 5 by 1 April 1944.[3]. By 15 April 1944, a total of 65 villages, 144 settlements and 5,682 houses had been evacuated, affecting 8,619 families and displacing 30,986 people. The evacuation, which had been prepared in secret for years, was suddenly announced to the population shortly before it was to take place.[3]
