# Arolsen — Magda LEBOVITS b. 20-01-1922 Balassagyarmat (Buchenwald women / Ravensbrück) — CANDIDATE (re-graded 27.10.2026)

- Arolsen doc **7638674** (person entry), scan folders 7638675-7638682; https://collections.arolsen-archives.org/en/document/7638674 ; ref code 01010504 038.405; "Personal file of LEBOVITS, MAGDA, born on 20-Jan-1922, born in Balasagyarmat", "Files with names from LASEHNA", KL Buchenwald (Frauen), T/D Nr. 367444, Häftlings-Nr. **29024**, old no. 53608, Umschlag-Nr. 13992.
- Personal card (doc 7638676), verbatim: "Magda Lebovits ... Beruf: ohne ... Geb.-Tag 20.1.1922 ... Geburts-Ort Balasagyarmat, Ungarn ... Rel.: jud ... Staatsangeh.: ungarisch ... Letzter Wohnort: **Balasagyarmat Tököli u 103**, Ungarn ... **Vater: Mór Lebovits, Beruf: schuster** ... **Mutter: Fanni geb. Vegh** ... Nächste Angeh.: Rose Lebovits, Budapest, Klotild g. 10 b ... Eingew. am **10.6.1944 in KL Nyírjes** [Nyírjespuszta] d. Stapo/Kripo/Sipo ... Überstellt am 5.9.1944 an KL Bu. Arb. Ko. Altenburg [Buchenwald Arbeitskommando Altenburg] ... 6.9.44 KL Ravensbrück". Signed "Magda Lebovits".
- Also appears as "LEBOVICS MAGDA 01/20/1922" in Ravensbrück/Kristal files (doc 3781873, 129641888 b. 21.1.1922, 129641870, 7638188, 7638338).
- **Comparison:** parents Mór + Fanni née Végh (shoemaker) — Miriam's parents per the marriage certificate: **Moshe HaLevi + Frimet** (and 1925/26, age 22 in Oct 1948). Birth year differs by 3 years too.
Grade: **נשלל** (parents' names differ; shoemaker Mór/Fanni of Tököli u. 103). Not Miriam. Kept only as an exclusion with the scan: arolsen_7638675_EXCLUDED_lebovits_magda_1922_buchenwald_folder.jpg, arolsen_7638676_EXCLUDED_lebovits_magda_1922_personal_card.jpg (this folder).
Documents the Nyírjespuszta -> Buchenwald-Altenburg route of one Balassagyarmat Lebovits woman: 10.6.1944 deported "in KL Nyírjes", 5.9.1944 to Altenburg, 6.9.44 Ravensbrück.

## Re-grading (27.10.2026, lead researcher) — the exclusion above is withdrawn
- "Mór" is the standard Hungarian civil form of **Moshe** — so the father's name **matches** the marriage certificate (משה הלוי ליבוביץ). The exclusion's premise ("parents' names differ") is wrong for the father.
- Mother: "Fanni L., geb. Vegh" (typed on the green Buchenwald card, docs/arolsen/lebovits_magda_1922_file/arolsen_7638678_01_front.jpg; handwritten "Fani geb Vegh" on the personal card). Miriam's certificate: **פרימט**. Hungarian Jews often took a civil name sharing the initial of the Yiddish name, so Fanni for Frimet is possible — not shown.
- Birth year 1922 vs 1925/26 (1949 voters list; marriage certificate age 22; MyHeritage tree 1925). Father "schuster" vs "סוחר" on YV page 800983 (Moshe Lebowits, Balassagyarmat).
- For: "Magda" is Miriam's name in the family's MyHeritage tree; Lebovits; Balassagyarmat (the town of the only Moshe+Frima Lebowits couple in Yad Vashem); father Mór = Moshe.
- **Grade: אפשר ש... — טעון אימות.** Questions that decide it: Miriam's birthday (20 January?), her mother's maiden name (Végh?), Ravensbrück / Altenburg in her story, a relative "Rose/Rózsi" in Budapest.
- Full file (8 documents, 16 scans) downloaded: docs/arolsen/lebovits_magda_1922_file/ — 7638675 folder (T/D 367444, 7 documents), 7638676 personal card (signature), 7638677 effects card, 7638678 Buchenwald personal card (green), 7638679 Ravensbrück personal card (no. 53608; work 16.8–30.8.44), 7638680 receipt card "Altenburg", 7638681 number card (21.1.22; 22.9.44), 7638682 work-detail card.
