Scope and content

The order of the information in the reports detailing changes changes slightly over the period of existence of the Concentration Camp. The prisoner number, name, first name and most of the times the reason for incarceration, block number or branch camp were recorded in the lists. As an attachment to the reports detailing changes there are documents by the "Effektenverwalter" (administrator of personal effects) about the prisoner numbers which were assigned anew.
