In this latest EHRI Document Blog post Laurence Schram and Veerle Vanden Daelen from Kazerne Dossin explain how a series of online publications to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the deportations of Jews, Roma and Sinti to the East from Kazerne Dossin led to a renewed understanding of the magnitude of the mass transportation of thousands of people.

The post explains the main sources available about the deportations from Mechelen to, mostly, Auschwitz-Birkenau: the transport lists. Using different lists, explaining the history of the transports and highlighting the various types of information available in the lists, the post offers an essential insight into the crucial documents and the history of deportation from the Dossin Barracks.
