#RememberHistory #USAtoday

The last known words of an anonymous deportee, who had been sent away together with his wife and daughter, were written on a postcard on the train dated October 9 and addressed to Ph. V. Praag in The Hague: "Dear People, I write this on the train, on the way to our foreign home. I don't know what to write. If I could write everything that we have experienced in the last 12 hours I would need many sheets of paper … This is the last message that you will hear from us for some time. We wish you the very best … We still continue to hope that we will see each other soon."
The train arrived at Auschwitz on October 11, two days after its departure from Westerbork/Hooghalen. Of the 1,703 Jews that arrived at the extermination camp. 334 men and 108 women were admitted into the camp for slave labour and were tattooed with the numbers 67362-67705 and 22282-22389. The remaining deportees were immediately murdered in the gas chambers.
SS Camp physician Johann Kremer wrote in his diary about the mass murder: "Present at night at a special operation from Holland (1600 people). Ghastly scenes in front of the last bunker! That was the 10th special operation. (Hössler!)", Kremer testified on July 18, 1947, that SS Officer Franz Hössler had driven the whole group into a single bunker. One man could not be crammed into the room and so he shot him.
Only four people from this transport survived the war.
