Lee Berendt writes:

"Not all of the people who are in the picture were sent away. Some were there to a see off a son or a sibling. Others were sent back from Kolo where a German commission looked over each subject. Some were too old or too young and were sent back to Sompolno. In addition, the names are spelled out phonetically in order to accommodate the American typewriter"

In addition...

On February 22^nd I received the following email from Isabella (Rybinski) Hoyle :

"One of the men in this photograph is my late father and his deceased brother. My father's name was Leon Laib Rybinski, born in Sompolno on April 17th, 1917. You might be interested to know that I possess the/an original of this exact photo.

My father had been in 15 concentration camps, but spent the most time in Auschwitz.
My father, before his death was invited to be interviewed and filmed by the Shoah Foundation here in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. I also have additional original photographs and documents of membership/personal identification that were left to me by my father.

Yours truly,

Isabella (Rybinski) Hoyle"
