This article examines ways testimonies and memoirs of Holocaust survivors help us better understand official German documentation, providing a new window onto Nazi slave-labor policies and the flexibility with which they were implemented. It discusses three findings extrapolated primarily from a transport list of 2,187 Jewish slave laborers from the Szkolna camp in Radom who arrived in KL Vaihingen in August 1944 via Auschwitz. It considers their ages, their trades (in particular that of butcher), and other evidence documenting their Holocaust experiences. The article sheds light on how German authorities balanced the ideological imperative of eliminating the Jews against the economic need for their labor
