   In the camp, 80 weakest prisoners were left lying in the ice and snow of the lumberyard by order of the camp commander, and cold water was subsequently poured on them. At night, prisoners-nurses brought 47 of those 80 into one of the barracks. 32 prisoners died, and one prisoner who survived under the bodies, died in the morning when he was carried.

     5 December 1943| A transfer transport of 1,000 prisoners (including 34 Soviet POWs) arrived at Auschwitz from the Flossenbürg camp. On the way, 4 prisoners escaped. Many others died.

     The group was probably about to be murdered in gas chambers, but ultimately, the prisoners were placed in the BIIa section of Birkenau (quarantine camp). 827 prisoners & 34 Soviet POWs were registered, and 81 prisoners were reassigned their previous Auschwitz numbers

     Robert Link repeated this.
