Notes on the sources

Count: statistik-des-holocaust.de, Gestapo list of 1,017 names with 17 deleted (and one duplicate) = 1,000, all from Berlin; it explains higher figures in the literature by pages of other lists wrongly filed with this one by the ITS Arolsen. Gottwaldt/Schulle 1,044; Gleis 17 plate 1,014; a USHMM catalogue entry describes the list as "1051 pers.". No Yad Vashem entry found for this transport. Station: berlin.de (after Gottwaldt/Schulle) and Gleis 69 e.V. (trains until spring 1942) name Bahnhof Grunewald.
