Notes
Note: Prisoner arrived in camp on 14 June 1940. "June 14, 1940 – The first Polish inmates, 728 men, are sent to Auschwitz from the prison in Tarnow by the Krakow Sipo and SD commander. The prisoners are given Nos.31-758 and quarantined …”. (Auschwitz Chronicle p.13).
Note 2: Since there is a significant spread between the date of the letter and that of the postmark, it is possible that they should not be together. On the other hand, communications by letter were primitive at that early period in Auschwitz and it is possible the envelope was postmarked two weeks after the writing of the letter. Tears in the envelope repaired by scotch tape.
