Transport IX/6 Ez from Breslau, Breslau (Breslau), Silesia (Lower), Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 27/10/1943

Transport IX/6 Ez departed from the Odertor train station presumably on October 27 1943 and arrived at Theresienstadt on the same day. It was the seventh of 12 transports meant for the elderly and otherwise privileged Jews from the province of Lower Silesia. However, this was marked a Special Transport consisting of a single deportee, Curt Unger, a 45 year-old Doctor of Law, native of Brieg and a former high-ranking municipal official. Little is known of Special Transports such as this one. Dr. Unger was presumably arrested by the Gestapo and brought to the State Police Office in Anger Street, where he was detained for an unknown period of time. Prior to his deportation, he was forced to sign a declaration relinquishing his entire property to the State. On the day of the transport, Dr. Unger was taken to the Odertor station with his luggage. He presumably entered the station through a back entrance, and was put under guard in either a passenger car or a prisoner car which was connected to a regular passenger train. The exact time and date of the departure is unknown. The journey took 12 hours at the very least, and possibly longer. The train presumably went west to Dresden and from there to Theresienstadt via Decin (Tetschen) and Usti nad Labem (Aussig)....
