On the south and east, it initially bordered the Soviet Union. After Operation Barbarossa, it bordered Reichskommissariat Ukraine to the east and Galizien District to the south, which was also part of the General Governorate.
==Nisko Plan== {{Main|Nisko Plan}} The Nisko Plan was an operation organized by Nazi Germany to deport Jews to the Lublin District of the General Governorate of occupied Poland in 1939. The plan was developed in September 1939, after the invasion of Poland, and implemented between October 1939 and April 1940, in contrast to the similar Nazi "Madagascar Plan" and other Jewish relocation plans that had been drawn up before the attack on Poland, at the beginning of World War II.<ref>Google Books search results for [https://www.google.com/books?lr=&q=%22lublin+reservation%22&btnG=Nach+B%C3%BCchern+suchen the "Lublin reservation"], [https://www.google.com/books?lr=&q=%22nisko+plan%22&btnG=Nach+B%C3%BCchern+suchen the "Nisko plan"], and [https://www.google.com/books?lr=&q=%22lublin+plan%22&btnG=Nach+B%C3%BCchern+suchen the "Lublin plan".] ''Also in ''Livia Rothkirchen, ''The Jews of Bohemia and Moravia: Facing the Holocaust'', University of Nebraska Press, 2005.</ref><ref name="Browning-1995">Christopher R.
