On this date, the Jewish people were required to report to Kaplanowka Square to fill out registration papers.

They were required to walk barefoot to the market square, getting whipped and pushed by the butts of the Nazi's rifles.

Section B was made up of the Jewish people who didn't work or who had large families.

By the middle of the day, 2,500 Jews were lined up at the square and marched to the station where they were loaded into goods wagons.

A select few Jewish people were able to climb through the vents and jump out of the wagon and head back to the Tarnów Ghetto.

A conference in mid-August 1943 was held in which it was announced that the Tarnów Ghetto would be finally liquidated in early September 1943.

Some Jews from Section A were selected to move to the Plaszow camp to do forced labor, the rest were put into the Singer factory grounds.

In the afternoon, Jews from the Magdeburger Platz were led to the railway station to be loaded into the goods wagons.
