There, the police arrested him on 5 March 1943, and had him deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. In August 1944, the SS transferred him to Buchenwald for forced labor. But the 14-year-old boy was too weak for the exhausting work and was put on the list for an extermination transport to Auschwitz on 25 September 1944. Willy Blum<\/a> and his ten-year-old brother Rudolf were also on this deportation list.<\/p>\n Presumably, Egon Petermann was murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau shortly after his arrival.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”3″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ el_class=”postflow”][vc_column width=”6\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/12″][vc_single_image media=”2274″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”3″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ inverted_device_order=”yes” el_class=”postflow wechsel”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”8\/12″ el_class=”smallcolumn”][vc_single_image media=”2272″ media_lightbox=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ lbox_caption=”yes” el_class=”schatten”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”4\/12″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″ text_height=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”182943″]Photograph of Egon Petermann by the Rassenhygienische Forschungsstelle<\/i> (Racial Hygiene Research Unit), ca. 1940.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”990886″]Starting in 1937\/38, the Reich Health Office had Sinti and Roma summoned by the police so it could perform \u201cracial assessments.\u201d The lists drawn up were later used for deportations to concentration camps.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_lead=”small”](Bundesarchiv Berlin) [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”3″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ el_class=”postflow”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″ text_height=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”162059″]Buchenwald Concentration Camp prisoner registration file for Egon Petermann, 3 August 1944.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”759460″]In the course of the dissolution of the “Gypsy family camp” in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Egon Petermann was transferred to Buchenwald on 3 August.
