Transport from Luxembourg, Luxembourg to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 01/08/1944

The last transport to Theresienstadt set out in early August 1944 and reached its destination on August 3, about a month before the Allies liberated Luxembourg on September 9. It consisted of one person: Victor Fleminger. We have no documentation about its date of departure, but evidently Fleminger was placed aboard a regular passenger train that proceeded from Luxembourg via Düsseldorf to Dortmund; from there, he was sent on in a regular passenger train bound for Theresienstadt. In the ghetto records, this transport is marked X/4 Ez3, the Roman numeral X denoting Dortmund. Victor Fleminger was born on July 3, 1886, in Vienna, Austria-Hungary. He was a well known artist, actor, singer, and songwriter. His wife, Johanna Frauta, a Catholic, had died in September 1943 and so, as he was no longer married to an Aryan, he was deported to Theresienstadt. After only about two months after he reached the ghetto, he was again deported On October 28, 1944, this time in Transport Ev from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz where he was murdered.
