Abstract:
- "This book contains 17,949 names of Polish Jews registered in the preserved documentation of KL Auschwitz prisoners. The vast majority of Polish Jews - victims of Auschwitz - perished anonymously with estimated figures ranging from 300,000 to 380,000. Most Polish Jews were murdered elsewhere: in the extermination centers of Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Majdanek, as well as in mass executions nearby or in their places of living. Approximately 150,000 died of starvation or as a result of epidemics in ghettos. Of the Jews murdered in Auschwitz the largest part was directed to the gas chambers immediately after unloading from transports. Overall more than one million European Jews were killed there. Our research covers the whole period of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp's operation from July 14, 1940 until its liberation on January 27, 1945. Beginning in 1942. [...]"--T.p. verso.
- Names in this work are not arranged alphabetically, but rather chronologically by source, with most sources ordered by prisoner number. Use of the accompanying CD-Rom's searchable index is advisable for locating references to an individual name. Many of the Polish characters and diacritics retrieved as the results of such searches may not display properly in the default Notepad program in computers configured primarily for use in other languages such as English, but page numbers are also displayed in these results, enabling easy consultation of the book itself. Also, if the 'maczka.txt' file is directly opened with the MS-Word program, the Polish characters and diacritics will display properly.
