[PAR] [TLE] NKVD prisoner massacres [SEP] The NKVD prisoner massacres were a series of mass executions carried out by the Soviet NKVD secret police during World War II against political prisoners across Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic states, Bessarabia and other parts of the Soviet Union from which the Red Army was retreating following the Nazi German attack on the Soviet positions in occupied Poland, known as Operation Barbarossa. [PAR] [TLE] Sambor Ghetto [SEP] Sambor Ghetto (Polish: "getto w Samborze" ) was a Jewish World War II ghetto established in March 1942 by the "Schutzstaffel" ("SS") in the prewar Polish city of Sambor in the south-eastern region of Kresy (now Sambir, Ukraine).  Sambor was occupied by Nazi Germany twice, first during the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, and again, after the 1941 Operation Barbarossa.  Before the war, Sambor was a county seat in the Lwów Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic.  The invading Germans handed the town over to the Soviets in accordance with the Nazi-Soviet Pact against Poland.  Sambor was annexed to the Ukrainian SSR along with the entire region in the atmosphere of intimidation, and the NKVD terror.  In 1941 the city was overrun again by the Wehrmacht army in the course of the German attack on the Soviet positions behind the Curzon Line (see map, marked in red), and incorporated it into their own "Distrikt Galizien".  According to the Polish census of 1931 Jews constituted nearly 29 percent of the town's inhabitants, most of whom were killed during the Holocaust.  Sambor (Sambir) is not to be confused with the much smaller Old Sambor (Stary Sambor, now Staryi Sambir) located close-by, although their Jewish history is inextricably linked together.
