Transport from Beuthen, Beuthen O. S. (Oppeln), Silesia (Upper), Germany to unstated place on 02/06/1942

Transport
Departure Date 02/06/1942
The sixth transport from Beuthen allegedly went to Chrzanów, as indicated in the handwritten note under the heading "Liste 6" ("ab Krenau"). The Gestapo entry specifies that 134 Jews from 13 so-called Jew Houses in Beuthen were deported (Bismarckstraße 72 and 82, Friedrich-Wilhelm-Ring 15, Gartenstraße 20, Gleiwitzerstraße 13, Gymnasialstraße 1, Hohenzollernstraße 2 and 14, Kattowitzerstraße 29, Kirchstraße 1, Krakauerstraße 1, Ritterstraße 3 and Schießhausstraße 6). According to the Polish scholar Franciszek Piper, 4,000 Jews were deported from Chrzanów to Auschwitz in June 1942. However, the pertaining data table doesn't specify the date. Piper refers to Czech's Chronicle and to Gilbert but Czech does not itemize any transport from Chrzanów in June 1942 and Gilbert does not mention any sources at all. Chrzanów is located about 55 km south-east of Beuthen towards Krakow, not at all at the railway line to Auschwitz. There are no known reports about the arrival of Beuthen Jews in Chrzanów. There is not a single known survivor from this transport.
