Registers and cards

The camp administration (Political Department, Department of Employment and others) created different files, lists and cards with names of Auschwitz prisoners produced by various departments of the camp administration. The vast majority of the documentation has not been preserved.

Arbeitseinsatz (Employment Department) in KL Auschwitz carried out a register of prisoners which was based on lists: new arrivals to the camp (Zugangslisten) from Political Department, lists of died inmates camp hospital and lists of transferred (Überstellungen). The files were arranged according to the prisoners numbers and occupations.
