Thanks to ITS, I found a lot of documents concerning Bela Goldberg.The birth date of Bela Goldberg on these documents is always 1/11/1926. This birth date matches with the previous information found on her.

According to these documents, Bela arrived on 19/8/1944 in Auschwitz.

According to the secondary sources, no trains from Lodz arrived in Auschwitz this day. As a consequence, I looked in the book of Danuta Czech “Auschwitz Chronicle, 1939-1945” to see what happened in Auschwitz on 19/8/1944. I found that 510 jewish women arrived in Auschwitz from a transport coming from the labor camp of Radom.

In the secondary sources I also found that a transport from Lodz arrived on 16/8/1944.

As a matter of fact, we have two possibilities: either Bela came from the labor camp of Radom, or there is a mistake in the date of the file and she arrived on 16/8/1944 from Lodz.

On 24/8/1944, Bela was transferred to Ravensbrück.

Bela was transferred to Buchenwald between 31/8/1944 and 21/9/1944. The documents I found are contradictory so I am not a 100% sure of the exact date. The most likely is that Bela was transferred to Mühlhausen/Thürigen, an annex of the concentration camp of Buchenwald on 03/9/1944.

On Wikipedia, I found that the Mühlhausen/Thürigen, also known as concentration camp “Martha” is a camp for women that has been opened on 03/09/1944. The camp was closed on March 1945 and the women of the camp were sent to Bergen-Belsen.

Between 3/3/1945 and 11/3/1945, Bela was sent to Bergen-Belsen.

It corresponds with the information found on Wikipedia about the Mühlhausen/Thürigen camp.
