Provenance:
"I post hereunder the list of the 82 children from the Czech village Lidice, who were murdered in the Gas Vans of Chelmno, as part of a collective punishment of the Nazis to the assault of Reinhard Heydrich on May 27, 1942. The list was taken from the book: "Oboz Smierci w Chelmno Nad Nerem", Janusz Golczynski, published by the Konin Museum, 1991. I thank the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for giving me the permission to quote the article about Lidice from their important book 'The World Must Know!', 16.5.2000 Ada Holtzman"--http://www.zchor.org/lidice1.htm (Last Accessed: 6 April 2017)

Abstract:
Alphabetical name register of 82 children from the Czech town of Lidice murdered in the Chelmno Extermination Center. Entries include surname, forename and year of birth.
"A total of 203 women and 105 children were first taken to Lidice village school, then to the nearby town of Kladno and detained in the grammar school for three days. [...] The children were separated from their mothers. [...] Eighty-eight Lidice children were transported to the area of the former textile factory in Gneisenau Street in Lódz. [...] The care was minimal and they suffered from a lack of hygiene and from illnesses. By order of the camp management, no medical care was given to the children. Shortly after their arrival in Lodz, officials from the Central Race and Settlement branch chose seven children for Germanisation. The few children considered racially suitable for Germanisation were handed over to SS families. The furore over Lidice caused some hesitation over the fate of the remaining children but in late June Adolf Eichmann ordered the massacre of the remainder of the children. On 2 July, all of the remaining 82 Lidice children were handed over to the Lódz Gestapo office, who sent them to the Chelmno extermination camp 70 kilometres (43 miles) away, where they were gassed to death in Magirus gas vans. Out of the 105 Lidice children, 82 died in Chelmno, six died in the German Lebensborn orphanages and 17 returned home."--Excerpts from "Lidice Massacre" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidice_massacre.
