On 14 June 1940, the Germans transferred a group of 728 Poles from the prison in Tarnów to the Auschwitz camp. The group included soldiers of the September campaign, members of the independence underground organisations, school pupils and students, and a small group of Polish Jews. They were given numbers from 31 to 758. Of the 728 deported prisoners, 325 survived the war, 292 perished, while the fate of 111 is unknown to date.

The 43rd session of the International Auschwitz Council was held on 12 May 2026 at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The session was chaired by Prof. Dariusz Stola.
