Transport XIX/7 from Usti nad Labem, Usti nad Labem, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 19/02/1944

The seventh transport left Usti nad Labem to the Theresienstadt Ghetto on 19 February 1944. It consisted of three deportees, the last residents of the Schönwald camp, which officially ceased operation after deportation: 45 year old Felix Kornfeld, 57 year old Ida Bachorek nee Kulka and 78 year old Amalie Leditzky nee Steiner. Very little is known about this transport. It is assumed that the deportees were driven in buses or trucks from the Schönwald camp 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/7 where the Roman numeral XIX refers to the area of Usti nad Labem. According to historian Rudolf Wlaschek, the oldest deportee, Amalie Leditzky, succumbed to the poor conditions in Theresienstadt, and died within two months of her arrival. Felix Kornfeld was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where he was in all likelihood murdered upon arrival. Ida Bachorek is the only known survivor of this transport.
