Transport Dv from Praha, Praha Hlavni Mesto, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 25/02/1944

Transport "Dv" set out from Prague for Theresienstadt on February 25, 1944. Eighteen Jews were aboard, ranging in age from an 18-monthold girl to a 68year old woman. Both would be murdered in Auschwitz. After entering the fortress confines, the deportees spent approximately three days in an intake area that the ghetto inhabitants called the “Schleuse.” There, they were dispossessed of all valuables that appeared on a list of contraband by the SS and Czech police. Afterwards, they were housed in barracks under severe and overcrowded conditions. Among those deported on Transport “Dv”, nine were sent from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz in May and October 1944; all of them were murdered. Among those who remained in Theresienstadt, one died in late March 1944 and the other eight survived.
