(USHMM 1994, 37) The Hungarian Ministry of Internal Affairs orders the deportation of Jews in Hungarian-occupied areas of Yugoslavia. (Ibid.) The first transport of 1,725 prisoners evacuated from Majdanek arrives in Auschwitz. Originally destined for the Mauthausen concentration camp, the transport was rerouted to Auschwitz when Mauthausen denied entry because that camp was overfilled. En route, twenty prisoners were shot, and ninety died; an additional eighty-six die during the first night after arrival at Auschwitz. (Ibid.)
