History of Transport XX – from Dossin to Auschwitz-Birkenau

Three months of continuous manhunts preceded the actual departure of Transport XX. The first registrations began on 16th January and on 17th April 1943, just two days prior to departure, the deportation list was finished. The list contained 1.631 Jews regardless of gender, age or health state. One in five deportees were children under the age of 15 years.
