He perished in the camp on 21 February 1942.
A mugshot registration photograph from Auschwitz. A man with a shaved head wearing a striped uniform photographed in three positions (profile and front with bare head and a photo with a slightly turned head with a hat on). The prisoner number is visible on a marking board on the left.
Ignacy Patolski 🕯️
I made it a habit for each of your posts to calculate how old a person was when he/she was deported to Auschwitz. So it occurred to me that Ignacy Patolski looks to young for being 54 when he arrived in the camp. And then I saw that the prisoner number in your post is a different to the one on the picture.
This somehow confirmed my approach to really look at each individual person.

Thank you for your great work.
