[Cz-L]Auschwitz, Seventy Kilometers West of... (Kraków - 4745 km)

Czernowitzers...

Do you know the feeling when you are waiting for a serious diagnosis for
a close family member and you are anticipating the disastrous
consequences? That was exactly my feeling while I waited at the Archives
of the State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau for the result of my inquiry with
respect to my uncle Maximilian Hauster.

Once Maximilian lost his Romanian citizenship by a Ion Antonescu decree,
he was imprisoned for more than one year at the Fort Breendonk
Concentration Camp in Belgium. Maximilian Hauster was born on 26.11.1909
in Czernowitz and has been deported from the SS Mechelen Transit Camp to
Auschwitz-Birkenau with Transport 19 on 14.01.1943. On 18.01.1943, 1,558
deportees disembarked at the sidings between Auschwitz and Birkenau.
1,090 deportees [70%] were gassed upon arrival in Birkenau, 468
deportees [30%] were employed in Auschwitz and the adjacent sub camps of
whom not more than 12 deportees [0.7%] survived.

These data were meticulously explored and published by the Kazerne
Dossin Memorial, Museum and Documentation Centre on Holocaust and Human
Rights. I'm currently preparing a documentation on all Bukovinians, who
suffered the same fate like my uncle and had been deported from Belgium
to Auschwitz - more numerous than I expected...
