Three days after the nationwide roundup, 245 Sinti and Roma were deported from Westerbork to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Only about 30 returned, according to the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The transport became known through a notorious archival film frame of a Roma child, Settela Steinbach; identifying individual deportees and preserving their names counters the anonymity of the transport record.
