Transport V/10 Ez from Dresden, Dresden (Dresden Bautzen), Saxony, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 27/09/1944

The transport left Dresden for Theresienstadt on 27 September 1944. It consisted of one Jew, 70-year old Martha Böhringer from Dresden. She was likely transported by regular train under guard. The general guidelines prepared by the RSHA recommended that the local Gestapo notify those Jews selected for deportation in writing. The deportees were permitted to bring a sum of 50 Reichmarks, a suitcase, a full set of clothes, suitable shoes, bedding, tableware and food supplies for eight days. Additionally, those selected for deportation had to produce an inventory of all their properties. The deportees were normally detained in assembly sites for two days prior to deportation. The Gauleiter of Saxony, Martin Mutschmann, was a key figure in the execution of this transport. Henry Schmidt, the head of the Dresden Department for Jewish Affairs in the RSHA, was responsible for organizing and carrying it out. Schmidt was also present in the assembly camps and even accompanied two or three transports to Theresienstadt....
