Transport XIX/11 from Litomerice, Litomerice, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 23/02/1945

The eleventh transport left the Usti nad Labem area to the Theresienstadt Ghetto on 23 February 1945. It consisted of eight deportees; another transport from another city in the same area, marked XIX/10, left the same day. Very little is known about this transport. According to the records of the Jewish adminstration in Theresienstadt, the transport departed from the city of Litomerice (Leitmeritz). From there, it is assumed that the deportees were driven in buses or trucks to Theresienstadt. Prior to their deportation, the deportees were searched and all valuable items in their possession were confiscated. In the Theresienstadt Ghetto listings the transport was recorded as XIX/11 where the Roman numeral XIX refers to the area of Usti nad Labem. The Theresienstadt ghetto was liberated three months later, on 8 May 1945. According to historian Rudolf Wlaschek, all eight deportees managed to survive the harsh conditions in the ghetto.
