László Rajk: A postcard to fold▼
If
we were to write down all the numbers from 1 through 437,000, one after
another on a piece of paper, it would take 917.8 hours if the time were
allocated as follows:
From 1 to 1,000: 10 minutes
1,000 to 9,999: 360 minutes
10,000 to 99,999: 2700 minutes
100,000 to 437,000: 52,000 minutes
Total: 55,070 minutes
55,070
minutes, that is 917.8 hours, the equivalent of 91.8 days, assuming a
10-hour working day, or 71.5 days for a 12-hour working day.
437,000 Hungarian people were murdered in 56 days in Auschwitz-Birkenau. (We have no reliable data on the murderers' timeline.)
