In 1944, the building that housed the offices of the Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland (Reich's Association of the Jews in Germany) at 10 Fichtestraße served both as a detention center and as the assembly point prior to deportation. A transport set out from Frankfurt am Main on March 15, 1944 and reached Theresienstadt the next day, March 16. It comprised only seven women. The train reached its destination via Dresden and Prague. In the Theresienstadt ghetto records, the transport is referred to as XII/7, the Roman numeral XII denoting Frankfurt am Main.
