3 June 1944 | Due to repeated attempts of escape from the crematorium areas by Hungarian Jews, the practice of turning off the electricity in the fence of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp in the daytime was discontinued. The electricity was left on all day and night.
On that day four trains with Jews deported from Hungary to Auschwitz crossed the border in Košice, with 11,569 people.
