Radom District was one of the first four Nazi districts of the General Governorate region of German-occupied Poland during World War II, along with Warsaw District, Lublin District, and Kraków District. To the west it bordered Reichsgau Wartheland and East Upper Silesia.[1][2]
The district's governors were Karl Lasch from 1939 to 1941, followed by Ernst Kundt until 1945. It is estimated that the district's population in 1940 was approximately 3 million people,[3] including over 300,000 Jews.
