Children in Kinderheim in Bergen-Belsen - How many and wherefrom?

There were two main groups of children in the barack 211 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, parentless and children with mothers. The parentless children were overseen by Luba Tryszynska and her assistants. All of them were Jewish inmates. In the same barrack, across the hall from the group of parentless children, lived young women with small children of their own. There lived also older children, siblings to the small ones.

The total number of the children in barrack 211 is not known.  There is often a repeated number of Dutch children there, 54, but no total numbers of the children on the parentless side or the children "across the hall" are given. However, it seems that there were over 100 children in the entire barrack number 211. After WWII ended, Dutch children were repatriated to Holland and reunited with what was left of their families. It is known that Dutch children came to Kinderheim barrack as a group in December 1944 while the "East European" children came to the Kinderheim at different occasions. It is known that 11 boys that were deported on December 4, 1944 from Piotrków Trybunalski to Buchenwald concentration camp, were later, on January 5th, 1945 taken out of Buchenwald (separated from their fathers and uncles) and brought to Bergen-Belsen. The group was of 21 boys. In the similar manner, children with mothers, deported from Piotrków Trybunalski on the same day as males but to the concentration camp Ravensbrück were later transferred to Bergen-Belsen.

The entire group transported to Bergen-Belsen was of 21 boys. 

Besides children from Piotrków Trybunalski and Poland, in the "East European" group, there were also children from Slovakia, Lithuania, Hungary and Germany.

When the Bergen-Belsen camp, including barrack 211 was burned to the ground as a sanitary measure, the survivors were transferred to the British "field hospital" in nearby German army base of Hohne, also named Bergen-Belsen hospital.  After three months at the Children ward there, the "East European" children together with one of the doctors and staff there, including Luba Tryszynska and Hermina Krantz left for Sweden, on the very last transport by UNRRA, a mission later called White Boat mission. Few from the group settled in Sweden until they could emigrate either to Palestine or overseas. I tried to follow what happened to there children before they came to Bergen-Belsen and afterwards when they landed in Sweden.
