Siegfried Schwarzschild was deported in 1942, transferred from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz on 16 May 1944, and disappeared after that transport. The compensation authority later fixed 31 May 1944 as his statutory death date; this was a legal inference, not a documented eyewitness death date.

Evidence

S-025 images 0104-0105 and 0173-0174 record official findings based on ITS Arolsen and Israelite community evidence: compulsory Jewish-star wearing from 19 September 1941, deportation to Theresienstadt on 23 August 1942 (with a separate claimant account giving 22 August), transfer to Auschwitz on 16 May 1944 on transport Ea 1933, and disappearance thereafter. The authority treated the transport as a death transport, inferred death soon after arrival, and fixed 31 May 1944 under section 180(2) BEG. S-072 independently preserves the same broad sequence.

What remains uncertain

The exact place and date of death are not documented. The dossier alternates between 22 and 23 August 1942 for the Theresienstadt deportation and sometimes states that he "died" at Auschwitz even though its fuller finding says he was missing and assigns a statutory date.
