Upon the invasion of Wehrmacht troops into Hungary ( '' Operation Margarethe '' ) and the accession of Döme Sztójay as Prime Minister in March 1944 , the deportations of the Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz supervised by Adolf Eichmann began on April 27 . The Hungarian Jewish women arriving in Walldorf came directly from Auschwitz-Birkenau , where they had narrowly escaped the selection of Dr. Josef Mengele and the gas chambers . The arrested 1700 young girls and women aged 14 to 45 years were requested by the '' Organisation Todt '' under chief engineer Franz Xaver Dorsch at the '' SS-Reichssicherheitshauptamt '' and had to perform forced labor at the construction site of the Züblin company at Frankfurt Airport . About 50 women did n't survive this four-month time period of hard work , insufficient rations and physical abuse . Most of the remaining women were no longer able to work when the camp was closed after the liberation of Natzweiler-Struthof in November 1944 . Only about 300 survived the further deportations to the Ravensbrück concentration camp and the holocaust
