The line surrounding the Sambor Ghetto was established during which war?
Sambor Ghetto 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.
Polish–Lithuanian War The Polish–Lithuanian War was an armed conflict between newly independent Lithuania and Poland in the aftermath of World War I. The conflict primarily concerned territorial control of the Vilnius Region, including Vilnius, and the Suwałki Region, including the towns of Suwałki, Augustów, and Sejny. The conflict was largely shaped by the progress in the Polish–Soviet War and international efforts to mediate at the Conference of Ambassadors and later the League of Nations. There are major differences in Polish and Lithuanian historiography regarding treatment of the war. According to Lithuanian historians, the war was part of the Lithuanian Wars of Independence and spanned from spring 1919 to November 1920. According to Poland, the war included only fighting over the Suwałki Region in September–October 1920 and was part of the Polish–Soviet War.
