1944/07/21 – Registrierung Romnja Litauen Auschwitz Birkenau

Twenty-two Lithuanian Romnja are registered in the concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, most of them toddlers and children. It is likely that Lithuanian Roma men are also admitted on the same day, but due to the illegibility of the last pages of the ‘General Ledger of the Gypsy Camp’ for men, neither their names nor their number is known. These are also the last entries in the register for Sinti and Roma in Camp Section BIIe, which was then buried by prisoners to preserve it for posterity. A total of 10094 numbers were assigned to male prisoners and 10849 numbers to female prisoners.
