Abstract:
A day-by-day chronicle of events in Auschwitz with references in margins to archival and published sources. Although this work contains no name registers as such, many names are mentioned throughout with reference to specific events (such as escapes, acts of resistance or executions), and a name index is included. Textual entries usually include prisoner numbers and further notations are given throughout as to which series and range of numbers were assigned to arriving prisoners on given days and where these prisoners were transported from (usually the immediate location or collection point as opposed to birthplace or residence).
