| תקציר/הערה |
In spring 1944 two Hehalutz activists from Slovakia, Yaakov Rosenberg and Moshe Weiss, managed to reach Palestine and submit to Jewish Agency officials a list of 51 prisoners in Auschwitz and other camps, requesting that they be sent immigration certificates. Notes that organized Slovakian Jewry (i.e. the Jewish Center, the "Working Group", and Zionist youth movements), as well as relatives of those deported in 1942, attempted to provide information on the fate of the deported and to alleviate their conditions during that year. The idea of sending certificates to prisoners in camps probably arose in 1943, but it was only after Rosenberg's and Weiss's request that the first list of candidates for immigration was forwarded, through Switzerland, to the Germans. All those included in the list were interrogated at the Political Department in Auschwitz and similar offices in other camps, some of them crudely. The prisoners were not released and most of them were not even informed of the purpose of the interrogation, but many of them survived the war.
