"By the beginning of summer 1942 the SS had killed about half of all the people who had been deported in October/November 1941 from Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Moravia. Of the 5000 Viennese Jews only 615 were still alive in the autumn of 1942. When the ghetto in Łódź was broken up in August 1944 and all the inmates deported to Auschwitz, only between 300 and 400 were still alive. »Selection« in Auschwitz and forced labor in the various concentration camps cost further lives. Only 34 of the 5000 Jews deported from Vienna to Łódź were still alive when the camps were liberated."
