Transport from Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany to Sachsenhausen, Camp, Germany on 27/05/1942

The Gestapo did not allow the Jews to take any luggage, and they were taken by public transport to the former synagogue on Levetzow Street, Berlin Moabit, which then served as the main gathering point for Jewish deportees. In the converted synagogue, officials from the RSHA and the Gestapo staged a tribunal, tortured the Jews, and subsequently selected 154 men for deportation to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, north of Berlin.

According to the clandestine notes of the inmate Emil Büge, who worked in the political department of the camp's command, the oldest deportee arriving in Sachsenhausen was Selman Löwenstamm (born on February 3, 1868), who had been convicted for illegal gambling back in the 1920s. The youngest listed deportee from Berlin was the gardener Heinz Stargard (born on January 20, 1921), who had received a suspended prison sentence in 1937, according to paragraph 175.^[1]

On May 27, the selected men were marched out of the former synagogue, probably to the nearby Moabit freight station, at the Putlitz Bridge. From there, they were taken by train to the Oranienburg railway station north of Berlin, and subsequently marched through the Oranienburg townlet to the Sachsenhausen camp....
