About the Memorial book of Silesia.

(Original text from the website.)

Księga Pamięci Mieszkańcy Śląska, Podbeskidzia, Zagłębia Dąbrowskiego (The Memorial Book of the Residents of Silesia, Podbeskidzie and Dąbrowskie Basin) was published in 1998 by the Katowice Division of Auschwitz Preservation Society. Author of the book is PhD eng. Irena Pająk.
The book is devoted to residents of Upper Silesian province directed to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945 by the security police, from prisons in Katowice, via so called collective transports. It also includes last names of police prisoners convicted by the drumhead court-martial and of correctional prisoners. The book presents 27.380 records, including 17.023 positions of identified prisoners, men and women with at least a last name in the documentation. The remaining 10.350 positions are just numbers, hiding individuals that were stolen their identity. Only sometimes there is a date of death at them.
