Of the transport of 19 October 1943 (Westerbork-Auschwitz), the majority of the men selected on arrival, deemed suitable for work, were put to work in "Warsaw" after 4 weeks of "quarantine", and a small part was sent to the coal mines at Jawischowitz, while nothing more was heard about the women after the arrival of the transport at Auschwitz.
A: The Men.
On arrival of the train in Auschwitz, a selection was immediately made, in which, according to the average estimate of survivors, about 350 men were selected. The rest were immediately taken away to be gassed. The selected people went into "quarantine" for 4 weeks, after which they were put to work in two groups. On the basis of witness statements it must be assumed that about 120 men were selected for the coal mines of Jawischowitz and that the rest (about 230 men) were taken to Warsaw.
B: Women.
Nothing is known at all about the fate of the women of this transport. None of them have returned, while nothing is certain about any selection at Auschwitz . So far, no evidence of their presence in Auschwitz or Birkenau has been found in witness statements either. In connection with this it must be assumed that all the women of the transport of 19 October 1943, as well as the children, were gassed on or about the day after their arrival at Auschwitz (22 October 1943).
