in october/november 1942, single men were sent to laufen, and a number of families were shipped to wurzach, releasing space for families from dorsten. 1,011 internees remained; 429 men, 437 women and 145 children, all but 20 channel islanders. the number of internees would rise with the february deportation intake, then later some jews, and finally a group of 200 arabs. a number of these late arrivals died as a consequence of being poorly treated previously.
