Twenty-two Lithuanian Romnja, most of them toddlers and children, were registered in the Auschwitz-Birkenau Roma family camp. These are the last entries in the surviving register for Roma prisoners in section BIIe; prisoners had buried the register to preserve evidence. The ledger gives a partial record, and its damaged final pages prevent a reliable count of Lithuanian Roma men registered that day.
