Transport II/19 from Muenchen, München (München), Bavaria, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 23/07/1942

Five Jews were taken from Lindwurmstrasse 125 (today listed as No. 127) to Milbertshofen. That building – ceded by the local NSDAP branch to the Jews – had provided shelter for the Jewish community since 1938, when the synagogue and community buildings in Herzog-Max-Strasse had been destroyed. A prayer room and office space had been set up. From here the Jewish community sent out the deportation orders.

Nine Jews had been living in Milbertshofen, one in Berg am Laim and the rest were taken from their apartments all over Munich to Milbertshofen prior to their deportation....
