Sir, 

Regarding the request you had sent us previously, related to your nephew, Mr. Jaime VERGES SEGURA, we inform you that we have received a list made by the former Spanish prisioners of the German concentration camp of Mauthausen (Oberdonau), Austria, and we have the honor and the sad duty to inform you that this list contains the following information:

 

“VERGES SEGURA Jaime,

Born June 24, 1900 in Linola, (Lérida),

Prisoner in Stalag XI B, No. 351 2,

Transferred to Mauthausen Camp on 27.01.41, No. 6591,

Transferred to Gusen (Oberdonau), Austria,

On 8.4.41, No. 11800,

Died on 8.8.1941 in Gusen.”

 

Unfortunately, these are the only indications we have about the circumstances of this painful event and it is impossible for us to obtain others from official sources.

 

We assure you of our deepest sympathy and send you our highest consideration.
