This article investigates the relationship between physical and social space and the experiences of Jews during the Holocaust in a small county in rural Poland: Węgrów County, located north-east of Warsaw. The focus of this article is a cluster map representing the murders of 3771 individual Jews – 35% of the Jewish population as it was recorded in 1940 – in the years 1942–1944. This cluster map is supplemented with alternative maps – a deep map and a story map – in response to ethical issues associated with quantifying Jewish lives and human tragedy. The cluster map shows the extent of brutal violence that took place during the 1942 liquidations of the ghettos, and the different survival strategies undertaken by Jews afterwards. Particularly, it unveils that many individuals fled to forested areas in response to the liquidation of the ghettos, and that attempts were made to escape the trains leading to the Treblinka death camp. This article demonstrates the value in applying spatial tools to research new fields of history, and the innovative ways in which visualizations can engage existing historical research.

本文调查了波兰农村地区的一个小县（位于华沙东北部的Węgrów县）在大屠杀期间的生理和社会空间与犹太人的经历之间的关系。本文的重点是描绘了1942年至1944年期间3771名犹太人被谋杀的集群图，这是1940年记录的35％的犹太人口。该集群地图还辅以其他地图-深度地图和故事地图-应对与量化犹太人生活和人类悲剧有关的道德问题。群集地图显示了1942年犹太人居住区清算期间发生的残酷暴力程度，以及犹太人此后采取的不同生存策略。特别是，它揭露了许多人因贫民窟的清理而逃往森林地区，并试图逃离通往特雷布林卡（Treblinka）死亡集中营的火车。本文展示了使用空间工具来研究新的历史领域的价值，以及可视化可以参与现有历史研究的创新方式。
