"at the maximum" 2,400 persons in 30 cars instead of
3,000 at 80 per car. All of this gives a total of 200,000 deportees instead of
434,351 retained by the Tribunal of Jerusalem or of 500,000 mentioned by the
Kasztner report.
All of these highly developed divagations were
intended to impress the reader with the competence of a "specialist on the
deportations," whose opinions were to be accepted without discussion.
Here is the reality such as it appears from a series of telex and
secret reports ("Nur als Verschlussache zu behandeln") sent to Berlin by the
German Ambassador to Budapest and SS-Brigadeführer Veesenmayer. Anyone may
consult them freely in the archives of the Center for Contemporary Jewish
Documentation in Paris (11).
This
series begins with the telegram dated April 28, 1944 (No 1108), which is thus
drafted. "Today the first transport of 1,800 Jews between sixteen and fifty
years of age and fit to work has left Budapest. Tomorrow a new train of 2,000
Jews fit to work will leave Topolya." The series goes up to July 9, 1944; and
the ensemble of the operations is summed up in a telegram of October 28, 1944,
which reads: "Total number of Jews in Hungary on March 19 of this year, about
800,000. Already transported into the territory of the Reich, about 430,000.
Jewish work force of the Hungarian Army about 150,000. In the region of
Budapest about 200,000."
And here are the details:

reports of Veesenmayer German Ambassador to Budapest).
