Title or Main Description:
Collection is described as a death book, but in fact consists of Veränderungsblätter (change pages) from an unidentified subcamp of Auschwitz in the first half of 1942. Over 30000 names listed, mostly deaths but a few transfers (destination not given) and an even smaller number of prisoners who were released. Pages are handwritten and are of poor to illegible quality. No frame numbers. For Schützgefangene gives category of prisoner e.g. Jude or Pole, prisoner number, name and date of birth. For Kriegsgefangene (prisoners of war) only number (no name) is given. Due to poor quality, probably will have to be done in house. May wish to wait and see if Auschwitz computerization picks this up
