Notes:
This list was compiled on order of the Ministry of Public Works, coinciding with the inception of the Commissariat of Jewish Affairs (KEV). The list is subdivided into five separate rosters giving the names, YOB, and home addresses of Jews in five constituent groups of the 2nd Labor Battalion. These groups and their deployments were the 3rd, operating from Toplit-izvori to Lozen village; the 4th, at Simeonovets, the 5th at Lozen in Pazardzhik district with two detachments between Peshtera and Dospat; the 6th at Shiroka Polyana, and the 7th at Tash Boaz. Also provided are the names of the Bulgarian officers and support personnel. The Jews of the 2nd Labor Battalion were virtually all residents of Sofia. The number of Jews in each of these group in the battalion was: 3rd group: 283; 4th group: 266; 5th group: 242; 6th group: 271, plus 18 more from the 6th and the 7th group in hospital at Peshtera; 7th group: 249. Two further attached lists give the names of 68 and 38 Jewish conscripts either in hospital or released from hospital. Total = 1435 Jewish forced laborers.
