Transport Af left Brno for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on March 31, 1942. It consisted of 1,000 Jews, mostly residents of Brno. 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 deportees were first brought to a collection point at a school building on Merhautova St. 37. From there, they were taken to the train station and put on a train. Upon arrival in Bohusovice, the Jews were taken off and were forced to march 3 km to Theresienstadt....
