Below is some information that is known about the Poniatowa sub-camps:

Chodel Labor Camp: Chodel lies 39 kilometers (24 miles) by road southwest of Lublin. In August 1939, 776 Jews were residing there. Chodel had filled with Jewish refugees, including deportees from Łódź, expellees from Puławy, and refugees from Warsaw. In the spring of 1940, 102 Chodel Jews were interned at local labor camps established for agricultural and carpentry work. On May 1, 1941, 1,738 Jews — including 947 Jews deported to Chodel — were residing in the town. Among the refugees were at least deportees from the city of Lublin. On June 23, 1942, the JSS reported 450 (of 1,300) men and women had been employed from March as agricultural laborers at several nearby estates, including in Ratoszyn and in a number of villages. Some 100 young men were transferred to the Opole Lubelsie Ghetto and sent from there to the Poniatowa Concentration Camp. On June 28, 1942, deportees from Saxony (mainly Leipzig) and Thuringi in Germany arrived in Chodel from the nearby Belzyce Ghetto. In September or October of 1942, the Jews of the Chodel Ghetto were dispatched to the Belzyce Ghetto. From there, they were transported to the railway station in Niedrzwica Duża and forced onto trains destined for either the Sobibór or Bełżec extermination centers.
