Riga, through the Commissar general in Riga.
Subject: Transport of Jews from Kauen.
Ref.: Your letter of 6 February 1942.
The transport of Jews from Kauen arrived here on 8 February 1942. However, instead of the requested 500 males only,
222 males and
137 females
were sent.
Due to the fact that there exists a considerable need of Jewish manpower for transport and construction work, I am requesting an additional 1000 Jewish males from Kauen.
I was informed by the transport leader that the Jews in Kauen, as far as their commitment for work is concerned, are not under the jurisdiction of the employment office, but that the Jewish manpower is distributed by the German police.
