Asked by @vilnius

Is it correct that Ferencz came from Auschwitz to Buchenwald in June 1944 and then was sent back in October the same year? Did this happen often (had some simila cards before)? Why?

Hi, seems to be correct, also noted here
I had a similar story in this card from a teenager: here

This could be one of the explanations if the person was assigned to work, but there could be other reasons as well.

p. 366 just example for sending people back to Auschwitz

206 prisoners were sent back to Auschwitz II- Birkenau. Since the factory was only interested in those fi t to work and those who possessed a healthy capacity for labor, these women were sent to the extermination camp
