camp between May and September 1942. 928 525 of these had come directly
from Lublin and 333 from other communities. 929
In a study of the death registry of Majdanek Janina Kiebo published
very detailed indications: a total of 4,687 western Jews died in
this camp between May and September of 1942, of whom 1,066 were
Czech, 2,849 Slovak, and 772 German and Austrian. 930 Among them
735 were between 11 and 20 years of age and 163 over the age of 60;
among the latter were 3 Slovak Jews in the 81 to 90 age group. 931
The number of western Jews who died at Majdanek was still larger,
however, as one can deduce from the series of documents “Totenmeldung
für die Effektenkammer” (death notifications for the chamber of
personal effects), which are partially extant. These documents list the
deaths of at least 183 western Jews within a period of eight days (20
October, and 29 November through 5 December 1942): 41 Czech, 108
Slovak, and 34 German and Austrian. 932 The deportees from Theresienstadt
went primarily to Izbica (11 and 17 March), Trawniki (12
June), and Zamo (20 and 30 June).
Hence, the number of certified deaths of western Jews at Majdanek
amounts to 4,870. According to Zofia Leszczyska, Majdanek received
five direct transports of Czech and Slovak Jews (4,813 persons) between
April and June of 1942, plus another 16 transport (with some
13,500 persons) who moved there after having resided in the Lublin district,
933 yielding a total of about 18,300 persons. Not included in this
figure are Jews from Germany and Austria who must have numbered
around 3,600 persons. 934
From this we may conclude that at least 21,900 western Jews were
registered at Majdanek, almost one third of the total number deported
into the Lublin district. There were also French, Belgian, and Dutch

This figure has been inferred fromthe mortality of the Czech and Slovak Jews of
[(4,064÷18,300)×100 =] 22,2% applied to the 806 certified deaths of German and austrian
Jews: [(802×(100÷22,2) ] = circa 3,600.
