The Security Police Resettlement Headquarters in Poznań - Zamość Branch (Der Chef der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD - Umwandererzentralstelle Posen - Zweigstelle Zamosc) was established in connection with the issuance of Heinrich Himmler's order on November 12, 1942, on the creation of the first German settlement district in Zamość in the area of the General Government. The unit reported to the Commander of the Security Police and the Security Service in the Lublin District (Der Kommandeur der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD für den Distrikt Lublin), was headed by SS-Obersturmbannführer Hermann Krumey, and was permanently managed by Gustav Hütte. The territorial scope of the facility included the counties of Hrubieszów, Tomaszów and Zamość. Its tasks were to manage the deportation action in the Zamość region, to carry out the selection of deportees for "racial tests", to form transports to the Reich to the so-called ghettos in the Warsaw district, and to killing centers at Auschwitz and Majdanek. It controlled its own transit camps for deportees in Zamość and Zwierzyniec. The deportations were carried out in three phases: November 6-25, 1941, November 1942-March 1943 and June-July 1943.
