Abstract:
- Non-alphabetical transport listings of 1,196 children and 53 adult escorts. Entries on list for children (p. [4-27]) include name, birth year, birthplace, father's name and mother's name, while entries on separate list for adult escorts (p. [28]) include only name, "Trsp. Nr." [transport number?] and date of birth.
- "At the end of August 1943 by order of Adolf Eichmann 1,264 children ages 6-12 and at least 20 adult caretakers were taken by train from the Bialystok Ghetto to Theresenstadt Concentration Camp. They remained there in a special camp code-named "Crete" until October 5th, 1943. During this time complex negotiations took place to save these children through some sort of "exchange" and transfer perhaps to Switzerland, then Palestine. When negotiations failed the children and their adult caretakers were taken aboard Abtransport Dn/a 10/5/43 to Auschwitz where they were gassed and burned on Erev (eve of) Yom Kippur, 1943."--http://www.zabludow.com/Bialystokchildren1.html
