ABSTRACT
The deportees from Denmark were unaware about their exemption from transports. As they witnessed the transports leaving the ghetto, they feared it would soon be their turn. In March 1944, a stateless man was deported to Birkenau, something which increased the fear of transport within the group. A number of Danes worked in the so-called transport help, assisting prisoners about to be deported. Descriptions of this work, which, in real-time sources, were rather positive, changed in the post-war testimonies, presumably with the knowledge of the gas chambers. Finally the chapter retraces some of the earliest testimonies, where Danish survivors wrote about friends who were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
