“Erwin Jahnke” Erwin was born on July 11, 1911 in Drochow, Germany. He was an electrician who was sent to Auschwitz for being gay on December 19, 1941.  In addition to his intake photo from there, I located him on two other lists, one placing him at Camp V, Neusustrum, and the other as having him transported to Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel camp before he was sent to Auschwitz.  Nothing else is known about him and his fate is unknown.
