Mauthausen prisoner cards

#1

Post by familyfinder » 14 Dec 2022, 03:21

I have prisoner cards for an Italian sent to Mauthausen that I have some questions about. I think I have a general literal translation for the cards, but I'm not sure I understand the nuances. For instance, I think the Häftlingsart is short for Schutz, which I think it means "Protective custody," but I'm not sure what is meant by that. Could it be a euphemism for political prisoner? I'm not sure when and why the term would be applied. Also, under Abgangs-, what does Art mean? Any help for properly interpreting the meaning of the cards would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Noel

You may want to confirm that, but I'm pretty sure Abgangsart 3 = deceased, and it's followed by date of death.
