Zusammenfassung: | The untold story of the 999 young, unmarried Jewish women who were tricked into boarding a train in Poprad, Slovakia on March 25, 1942 that became the first official transport to Auschwitz. On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women-many of them teenagers-were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reichsmarks (about 160) apiece for the Nazis to take them as slave labour. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would survive. The facts of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men among them. Sent to almost certain death, the young women were powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish-but also because they were female. Now, acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history |

On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women-many of them teenagers-were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reichsmarks (about 160) apiece for the Nazis to take them as slave labour. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would survive. The facts of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men among them. Sent to almost certain death, the young women were powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish-but also because they were female. Now, acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="2" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Konzentrationslager Auschwitz</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4003697-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1942-1945</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Jüdin</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4286934-1</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Junge Frau</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4162897-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Slowakei</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4055297-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Auschwitz (Concentration camp)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Jewish women in the Holocaust / Slovakia / Anecdotes</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) / Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) / Slovakia / Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Auschwitz (Concentration camp)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Jewish women in the Holocaust</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Slovakia</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">1939-1945</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Anecdotes</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Slowakei</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4055297-4</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Jüdin</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4286934-1</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Junge Frau</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4162897-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Konzentrationslager Auschwitz</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4003697-2</subfield><subfield code="D">b</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1942-1945</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Moorehead, Caroline</subfield><subfield code="d">1944-</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1123834695</subfield><subfield code="4">wpr</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München -
