J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, <strong>SOBIBÓR</strong> 325 “Not included are the Jews housed in the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Lublin in connection with the evacuation operation.” (Emph. added) This statement refers to Jews who had been deported to the two camps without having been counted, but who were alive. An analysis of the data furnished by SS statistics confirms this. For the Auschwitz camp the data specify a total of 5,849 male and female Jews admitted (eingeliefert), 1 released (entlassen) and 4,436 deceased. 996 However and as mentioned above, item 5 of the Korherr report lists 159,518 Jews deported only from France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Slovakia, and Croatia, 121,428 of whom were sent to Auschwitz. 54,759 of these were registered at the camp or selected at Kosel, which means that they could not have been among those assassinated. These Jews were part of the “Evakuierungsaktion” (evacuation campaign) which was the same as the “Ostwanderung” mentioned above. For the camp at Lublin-Majdanek, Korherr presents the following data: Table 10: Korherr’s Figures for Majdanek Arrivals Releases Deaths Present on 31 Dec. 1942 Lublin/Men 23,409 4,509 14,217 4,683 Lublin/Women 2,849 59 131 2,659 Total 26,258 4,568 14,348 7,342 We know from Höfle’s telegram that the evacuation campaign had affected 24,733 Jews up to 31 December 1942, and Korherr tells us that at that time at least part of them were housed, alive, at Majdanek. They can thus not all be considered to have been assassinated, as Witte and Tyas will have it. All the more so, as there were 4,568 Jews who were released from Majdanek – a strange “extermination camp” indeed! Tatiana Berenstein and A. Eisenbach assert that 51,700 Jews were brought to Majdanek in 1942, where 25,200 of them were registered (26,258 according to Korherr) and 26,500 allegedly murdered on the spot. 997 This figure is very close to Höfle’s (24,733). It is much more logical for the allegedly gassed persons to have been transited through the Majdanek camp without having been registered, just like the more than 100,000 Jews who passed through the transit section (Durch- 996 Ibid., p. 12. 997 T. Berenstein, A. Eisenbach, op. cit. (note 983), p. 14.
326 J. GRAF, T. KUES, C. MATTOGNO, <strong>SOBIBÓR</strong> gangslager) of the Birkenau camp between May and October of 1944 without registration. 998 Schelvis tells us what happened to the transport of 1,000 Jews from Prague which left on 10 June 1942, i.e. after Sobibór had gone into operation: 999 “The train stopped briefly at Lublin, where some of the men aged between 13 and 50 were selected for work at the camp, then continued to the Che�m area, where the deportees were put to work on various drainage projects, some at Ujazdów, near Hansk” He then claims, however, that “the majority” of the deportees were killed at Sobibór in October of 1942 “after an outbreak of typhoid,” whereas “a small group ended up at nearby Krychów, until they too were gassed at Sobibór.” Two Jews escaped during the removal from Ujazdow to Sobibór, one of them 12 years old, who would tell the story of this transport. Hence, male deportees between 13 and 50 years of age were selected at Majdanek and remained there; younger and older deportees (i.e. those unfit for work) and all women, 1000 regardless of age, were sent on to Ujazdow in Che�m county. As we have seen above, the local county chief asked on 13 May 1942 “to send along the able-bodied Jews as well with the next transport,” which obviously means that at this point in time only the unfit had arrived. Fritz Reuter’s memo of 17 March 1942 cited above states that, if it is not possible to “separate Jews fit for work from those unfit already on departure,” this was to be done at Lublin. We have also seen that some local authorities protested because “food, which is added to the transport trains,” and “the baggage of the evacuees” often remained in Lublin. If this was normal practice, the unfit detainees who arrived at Majdanek were removed and eventually went to Sobibór or Be��ec; the able-bodied were selected for work and were housed at the camp without registration or moved to other camps. 998 Andrzej Strzelecki, Endphase des KL Auschwitz, Verlag Staatliches Museum in O�wi�cim-Brzezinka, 1995, p. 352. 999 J. Schelvis, op. cit. (note 71), p. 209. Ujazdów is located only some kilometers from Sobibór, as noted by Schelvis in the German edition of his study (op. cit., note 70). 1000 At Majdanek, a women’s sector was opened on 1st October 1942 in Feld V. This is the reason why the Korherr report has only such a small number for the female Jews in this camp.
