Abstract

The sources presented in this article are closely connected with the article entitled “Survival Networks – Smugglers from Podhale and Spiš During the Holocaust,” published in this issue of our journal and the fate of its protagonist, Benzion Kalb during 1943–1945. During the war, Kalb operated in the smuggling networks on the Polish-Slovak border. Between 1943 and 1944, he used his contacts and routes to smuggle hundreds of people across the border between occupied Poland and Slovakia as well as across the Slovakian-Hungarian border.
