Abstract:
States that according to the information given by the Red Cross Office in Arolsen in 1979, the labor camp in Jeleniów (Lower Silesia) functioned between 1941-44. Based on analysis of documents, concludes that the camp was probably organized in March 1943 (and not 1941), and that Jewish women were brought there the same month through the Organisation Schmelt. They worked for the Dierig textile factory. Describes the organization of the work there, and deals with the financial aspects of the forced labor; quotes sums earned by Organisation Schmelt due to the forced labor of Jewish women. In March 1944 the women were moved to the labor camp in Bieława (Langenbielau), a sub-camp of Gross-Rosen. The Jeleniów camp was closed in summer 1944 because of the liquidation of the Organisation Schmelt. A list of 192 Jewish women who worked in Jeleniow is appended (pp. 421-426). States that it is a unique list, because other lists from the Organisation Schmelt have not been found up to now.
