Transport Ad from Brno, Brno Hlavni Mesto, Moravia-Silesia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 23/03/1942

Transport Ad left Brno for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on March 23, 1942. It consisted of 1,000 Jews, mostly residents of Brno. The deportees were first brought to a collection point in a school building on Merhautova St. 37. Prior to the train’s departure, several staff members of the Prague Jewish community Transports Department arrived in Brno to carry out administrative measures according to the orders they received from the Central Office for Jewish Immigration. They prepared a list of deportees, registered Jewish property, issued notices regarding the date of deportation and assisted in packing and carrying luggage. The Jews were brought to the train station and transported to Bohusovice, where they were taken off and forced to march the remaining 3 km to Theresienstadt....
