| [This document comes from a file probably containing about one hundred originals and copies in German and Russian and various letters taken from KL Auschwitz Birkenau by the Soviets in January/February 1945. The letters were subsequently bound together. Microfilm M 26 kept in the Archives of the High Commission for the Examination of Hitlerite Crimes in Poland, in Warsaw, shows part of these. PMO file BW 30/27 of 41 pages (microfilm 130) contains photographs of these documents, including several letters identical to those on microfilm M 26. The entire Soviet file is not known to us at present, but in the author’s opinion all the essential documents have been communicated, for it is always the same ones that are photographed and produced .] |
