Abstract:
List of approximately 50,000 prisoner "allocations" (barracks / work detail rosters). Contains prisoner numbers ranging from 150,000 to 200,000 (no names cited). Includes handwritten notations as to where prisoners were sent (e.g. Buna). Other notations are "üb" (presumably überstellt / transferred with no indication of destination), some crosses (presumably deaths) and many left blank. Very difficult to read. Provenance of this list is probably the Auschwitz State Museum Archive and this material will presumably be included in its database.
Language and Other Notes:
- Text in German.
- Cataloger-assigned title.
- Includes handwritten notations.
- Microfilm cannot be found as of 3 December 1999. -kh
