Transport Bz left Tabor for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on November 12, 1942. It consisted of 650 Jews. According to archival records, most of the deportees were residents of villages and small towns in the vicinity of Tabor. Among these were Pacov, Cernovice, Strezimir, Naceradec, Neustupov and Kamenice. Prior to the train’s departure, several staff members of the Prague Jewish community Transports Department arrived in Tabor 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 transferred from the school to the train station and put on a train. Upon arrival in Bohusovice, the deportees had to disembark and were forced to march the remaining 3 km to Theresienstadt.
