Theresienstadt,Ghetto,Czechoslovakia
This transport departed on an unknown date and reached Theresienstadt on July 12, 1944.
On arrival, the train was given the reference VII/5 Ez 1, the Roman numeral VII denoting Düsseldorf as the origin and the letters Ez abbreviating Einzeltransport (“special transport”), i.e., a transport with few people aboard. This was the second Ez Ez transport out of Düsseldorf; the last transport of this type departed in late January 1945. Most “special transports” used regular passenger trains.
The names of five Jews who were aboard this transport are known to us. All had lived in Düsseldorf. Three survived, one woman died in Theresienstadt, and the fifth, a woman, was murdered in Auschwitz.
