Abstract:
Film #15 (no frame numbers) contains two lists. The first consists of hundreds of mug shots of Auschwitz prisoners with the mug shot numbers but no names or prisoner numbers. This is followed by a listing which matches mug shot numbers with prisoner numbers. Again, no names are given but prisoners are categorized, e.g. B.V.P., Aso. P., Aso U and a few J. An introduction to the list prepared by the Red Cross' International Tracing Service states that these persons survived but the lists themselves give no indication of fate
