18 November 1942 | 44 Poles transported by Germans from a Pawiak prison in Warsaw were registered in the Auschwitz camp. Number 75886 was given to a 20-year-old Wiktor Tołkin. He was released from the camp in February 1944 thanks to his family efforts.
After the war, Wiktor Tołkin became an architect and a sculpture. He is best known for his monumental sculptures built in memory of the victims of the German concentration camps in Stutthof and Majdanek.
