the Warthegau, Chemno (Kulmhof), Korherr must have made a mistake
in using the plural, apparently because he said “moved through the
camps in the General Government” elsewhere in his text.
For Chemno no gassings are claimed to have taken place in 1943,
which means that the figure of 145,301 (rounded to 145,300) must also
be the total number of persons having been moved into the eastern areas
via Chemno. 1050 Some 11,000 of them came from countries other than
Poland, 1051 hence the number of Polish Jews within these deportees
amounted to about 132,300 persons.
10.2.3. Via Auschwitz
A considerable portion of the Jews who reached Auschwitz and are
said to have been gassed there on the spot without having been registered
were Jews from Hungary. The deportations from Hungary, however,
did not begin until May of 1944, and hence no Hungarian Jews
ever reached the eastern areas, which were rapidly shrinking in size at
the time. Only a certain number of Jewesses were moved into the Baltic

1050 For the summer of 1944, 7,000 gassings have been alleged for Chemno. As the “gassed
victims” (i.e. persons transferred) did, however, not reach the eastern territories, we need
not take them into account here. Cf. Carlo Mattogno, Il campo di Chemno tra storia e
propaganda, Effepi, Genua 2009.
