Transport from Beuthen, Beuthen O. S. (Oppeln), Silesia (Upper), Germany to unstated place on 28/05/1942

The fifth transport from Beuthen allegedly went (like the second one), to Będzin, as indicated in the handwritten note under the heading "Liste 5" ("ab Bendsburg"). The Gestapo entry specifies that 108 Jews from four so-called Jew Houses in Beuthen (Krakauerstraße 24, Breitestraße 11, Tarnowitzerstraße 3 and Kasernenstraße 4. The latter was a Jewish retirement and nursing home) were deported. Thus this was a transport composed of mainly or solely elderly people. The Jews from Beuthen probably met the group of Jews who were deported that same day from Gleiwitz. They might have been brought together to Będzin.
In a letter to the Reichsvereinigung in Breslau on May 28, 1942, Judicial Council Arthur Kochmann from Gleiwitz, an alderman of his hometown, and chairman of the Synagogue Federation of Upper Silesia, wrote about the Jews being sent that same day from Gleiwitz to Będzin and from there to an unknown place. Schlesinger specified that the Jews were deported by truck. The trucks passed through Sosnowiec.
Deportations from Będzin to Auschwitz are documented as from August 14, 1942.The destination of a transport in May 1942 from Będzin has never been definitely confirmed. The date May 20 does not appear in the Auschwitz Chronicle or any other known documentation. There are speculations that the Beuthen transports were heading for Auschwitz because of the proximity. However, this train, as all the transports in May and June, could have also travelled into the Lublin District or directly to Sobibor....
