| Description |
Under the Nazi occupation, the German courts installed in the Generalgouvernement were preoccupied with violations of wartime regulations and other actions seen as "threatening to the Reich", while Polish courts heard regular criminal or civil cases. Violations of wartime regulations included living on the "Aryan side" illegally, not wearing the Jewish armband, black market transactions, etc. Bringing examples from cases in the Warsaw district (including Warsaw, Otwock, Siedlce, Grodzisk, and other towns), shows that sentences of Jews by German courts became increasingly harsher from 1939-42. Death sentences became routine, and in 1942 the Warsaw "Sondergericht" pronounced 20-30 death sentences on Jews at one session. In criminal cases, the Polish courts did not show visible bias however, in civil cases they served as a formidable medium to expropriate the Jews and to seize Jewish property. After the deportations of July-September 1942, the legal system of the Warsaw district ceased to deal with Jewish cases.
