The files SI AS 1769/213 and SI AS 1769/214 also contain the alphabetical list of prisoners in the Dachau concentration camp, 1945.06.01. In addition, the collection contains the files SI AS 1769/157 to SI AS 1769/161 with the records of the transport of Slovenes who were resettled to Serbia (transport number I - transport number V; 6.7.1941–10.7.1941); the original is in the Upper Sava Valley Museum), which could be helpful for researchers, as in the summer of 1941 around 17,500 people were deported from the Slovenian territory to Serbia (and Croatia); although most of these deportees were Slovenes, they also included Jews and Sinti who had not managed to escape.
