The Inmate Registration Ledger |
Numerical registers exist for tens of
thousands of Buchenwald inmates. This is in addition to the actual
registration cards and transport lists that are available on microfilm.
The registry entries contain the prisoner number, religion, date of
arrival at Buchenwald, date of birth, surname, given name, and
importantly, if the inmate died, where and on what date. You can see above on the first entry that prisoner number 56463 was Nander Berlovits, arrived at Buchenwald on 6 Mar 1944, birth date 10 Jan 1896. He perished at Auschwitz on 10 Jun 1944. Seemingly, the last entry for a Ludwig Weiss, indicates that this inmate presumably survived the camps since there is no indication of a date and place of death. |
