Hungarian Women Transport List From Auschwitz to Buchenwald October 14, 1944

Background

This is a set of 200 Hungarian women sent late in the war from Auschwitz to Buchenwald. Many of these names already appear as prisoners/forced laborers in the Junkers plant, in Markleeburg, near Leipzig, a subcamp of Buchenwald.

As the Russians approached and the labor shortage inside Germany continued, the Germans found it useful to ship relatively healthy/young prisoners westward. These were often Hungarian, who were late "arrivals" in Auschwitz

Additional information on these women can be found in other Buchenwald material.
