Abstract:
Documents transports of Poles from Warsaw to KL Auschwitz, contains 25,963 names or numbers of prisoners, who in years 1940-1944 were brought in 56 transports directly from Warsaw, or via the transfer camp in Proszkow [sic]. The lists of names were prepared on the basis of sources collected by the Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oswiecim (their detailed discussion is connected in the chapter "Baza zrodlowa"). The list is arranged by prisoner number (men and women separately), which allowed it to include persons whose names were not established. Access to names is made easy thanks to an alphabetical index of prisoners.--[Excerpt from "Biographical Sources for Poland---Victims of War" at http://www.library.uiuc.edu/spx/class/Biography/Polishbio/polvictims.htm].
