Transport Ei from Praha, Praha Hlavni Mesto, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 08/09/1944

Thirteen people were deported in the transport that set out on September 8, 1944; they ranged in age from 74 - 4. When the transport reached Theresienstadt, it was designated “Ei” in the camp records. It is known that after reaching Theresienstadt, deportees spent several hours or, at times, several days in an intake area known in ghetto terminology as the “Schleuse”. There, they were SS and Czech police confiscated from them all all valuables that appeared on a list of contraband. Afterwards, they were housed in severely overcrowded barracks. Eight deportees were sent to Auschwitz that very year in the last wave of transports from Theresienstadt on transports Ek and Eq, on September 28 and October 12, 1944, respectively, and were murdered there. The others remained in Theresienstadt and survived.
