Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Georg Kalisz donated these documents to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Jan. 30, 2004.

Scope and Content

Consists of 11 photocopies of documents regarding the wartime experiences of Georg Kalisz. Mr. Kalisz was born in the women's camp of Auschwitz, sometime at the beginning of September 1944. In the documents, the Museum in Oswiȩcim verifies that he was born not before August 1944 and his tattoo (which was administered to his left thigh) (199784) was issued between September 20th-25th, 1944. The International Tracing Service verifies only that he remained in the women's camp until liberation in late January 1945. He does not know his mother's name. The documents also show that it is likely that Mr. Kalisz was experimented upon while in the concentration camp.
