Back on 11 Jan I blogged the set up the Jaross-Lists Committee. This week the committee reported its findings. The assumption was that these lists, which were taken after an order by the Hungarian minister of interior in early April 1944, were the sources for picking Jewish people and taking them to concentration camps.

The most important result is that there aren't any complete series of the lists remaining, despite of the fact the originals were taken in four copies. Some lists come up here and there, but there is no single repository holding the whole series.

Also, the committee found more sources that would be more helpful in setting up a list of those who were taken. More about the findings.
