On 26 March 1942, the first mass transport of Jewish deportees orchestrated by Adolf Eichmann arrived at the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, marking the escalation of the Holocaust’s industrialised genocide.
As a key architect of the Final Solution, Eichmann oversaw the logistics of deporting Jews from Nazi-occupied territories to extermination camps.
This grim milestone heralded the systematic murder of millions, as Auschwitz became the epicentre of Nazi atrocities.
The Eichmann transports stand as a haunting reminder of the bureaucratic efficiency that enabled one of history’s darkest crimes.
