1944/05/19 – Niederlande (Deportation Westerbork nach Auschwitz-Birkenau)

In the German occupied Netherlands, 245 Sinti and Roma and 208 Jews are deported from the transit camp Westerbork to the concentration camp and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. In Assen, German-occupied Netherlands, twelve Sinti and Roma are loaded onto this train. Thanks to the help of a policeman, Zoni Weisz escapes deportation with her aunt and cousins. A deportation train from Mechelen (Dossin barracks), German-occupied Belgium, is coupled to the train from Westerbork en route; on this train is a Rom named Stevo Karoli.
