New arrivals documents

Personal information sheets (Personalbogen) arranged according to the camp numbers allowed the drawing up of Zugangsliste, which contained basic personal details of every prisoner: prisoner number, type of prisoner, name and surname, date and place of birth and occupation.

The Zuganglist was transcribed twice, as it was necessary to draw up more than a dozen copies. After the Zugangslist was drawn up, it was signed by the "Aufnahme" head office. These Zugangslists were typewritten by the following prisoners: Trębaczewski, Schubert, Bock, and Smoleń. If I remember correctly, 6 or 7 copies were typewritten, which made a total of 12 or 14 copies of the Zugangslist for each transport.

The drawn up Zugangslists were passed to the head of the Politische Abteilung, Max Grabner or to the head of the Aufnahme kommando. Signed copies of the Zugangslist were sent through internal mail to particular branches within the camp. (...)

The documents have been preserved and after the war they were reclaimed by Tadeusz Wąsowicz, who, having invoked our agreement, received the documents in the presence of a representative of the Cracow District Commission for the Investigation of Nazi War Crimes.
