Österreichische Zwangsarbeitslager für ungarische Juden.
According to Yad Vashem.
Deportations of Hungarian Jews to Austria began immediately after Hungary was occupied by the Wehrmacht in March 1944. Between May 14 and July 9, 1944, more than 430,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to Auschwitz. Some 75 percent of those who were deported to Auschwitz were sent to the gas chambers either immediately or soon after their arrival. Of those selected for labor, 8,000 were deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp and its satellites between May 28 and June 19, 1944, followed by several thousand more after the final evacuation of Auschwitz in January 1945. The subsequent fate of these two groups of deportees to concentration camps will not be discussed in this article.
Yad Vashem is claiming that 322 500 Hungarian Jews were gassed at Auschwitz in 56 days, which amounts to about 5800 murdered per day. Franciszek Piper (Mattogno-Auschwitz Sonderkommando) said "They had to cremate 24,000 Hungarian Jews every day."; this would put the number of Hungarian deaths at 1.3 million. This is more than the Jewish Population of a "Szent Korona Országai" (Hungarian Territories) which in 1941 had a Jewish Population of 445,000, though other sources quote 846,000 due to various annexations.

In April, the conscription for forced labour commenced again, this time in a far greater and more expansive measure than in the previous years. Virtually all male Jews were conscripted. Out of the entire community-3 –only the women, the children and the elderly people remained at home.
This forced labourer worked mainly in Hungary, arriving at Mauthausen just before the Russians arrived.
The US Helsinki Commission speaks of the mass deportation of Hungary’s Jews and the Romani revolt at Birkenau. link
There were 6 thousand Romani at Birkenau. Chairman Cardin said: “Plans to empty the Romani camp at Auschwitz were, in fact, intended to make room for Jews arriving from Hungary.”
The JTA in its archives has an interesting article. link Sept 9 1940
From 135,000 to 150,000 Jews have been mobilized in the last six weeks by Hungarian authorities for services in special labor camps, it was revealed today by a reliable source close to the Government.
In 1944
In the early summer and autumn, at least 55,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to eastern Austria to do forced labour. link
I have provided a pdf list of the 230 Austrian labour camps for Hungarian Jews. List. This list was compiled by deutschland-ein-denkmal.de
It is known that two of the Lantos transports went west, only one headed towards Poland. Even then there is no certainty that the Polish transports ended up at Birkenau. While not from Hungary Jetje and Sientje Veterman were supposed to go to Auschwitz but ended up in Sobibor.
In March 1943 Jetje and her sister were also taken away to go to Auschwitz. But when they arrived at the camp the train kept going. She never even caught a glimpse of this camp. ‘We just heard screaming and that was all.’ The train went on to Sobibor
They ended up at the Lublin-Flugplatz labour camp from Sobibor.
One of the transports half way through the Hungarian deportations, arrived at Bergen Belsen and then Switzerland with 1 670 surviving passengers; this is known as the Kastner train.

Minister of the Interior’s Decree on the transport and placement of Jewish forced labourers
Hungarian Ministry of the Interior
Subject: To accompany the Jews suitable for labour service to their workplace
Number: 17874
1944/VII.res.
Strictly confidential!
For a proper procedure, I hereby inform the Subprefect that the Jews from Budapest who were found suitable for labour service will be accompanied on foot to their assigned workplace, from the 6th of November 1944 on, until further measure. On the way, the escort will be carried out by the H.[ungarian] R.[oyal] Army, while the guard service at the catering and night stations will be provided by the H.[ungarian] R.[oyal] Gendarmerie. I notice the Subprefect to ensure, catering and night stations for 2,000 persons per day at the places listed below, from the date indicated below until further measure. The daily supply of a person should be the allotted portion of bread and a bowl of hearty warm meal. Covered premises should be designated for night stations, where the persons escorted to their workplace can be completely separated from the population of the municipality. There should be adequate number of latrines as well in the night stations. In case of contagious disease or death, the assigned public health officer should be informed.
Catering and night stations:
From November 6, 1944 Piliscsaba,
From November 7, 1944 Dorog,
From November 8, 1944 Süttő,
From November 9, 1944 Szőny,
From November 10, 1944 Gönyű,
From November 11, 1944 Dunaszeg,
From November 12, 1944 Mosonmagyaróvár,
And from November 13, 1944 Hegyeshalom.
Finally, I urge the Subprefect to direct the chief constables in charge who are responsible for the designated catering and night stations to involve the members of the armed party service of the local Arrow Cross Party - Hungarist Movement in the guard service of the labour servicemen. Evidently, the armed party members who are assigned to guard the labour servicemen must follow the instructions of the H.[ungarian] R.[oyal] Gendarmerie responsible for guarding.
I expect a report on the organization of catering and night stations.
Regarding the H.[ungarian] R.[oyal] Gendarmerie I will issue a decree separately.
