Transport XIX/8 from Usti nad Labem, Usti nad Labem, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 06/02/1945

The eighth transport left Usti nad Labem to the Theresienstadt Ghetto on 6 February 1945. It consisted of twelve middle age and elderly deportees. Very little is known about this transport. It is assumed that the deportees were driven in buses or trucks from Usti nad Labem 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/8 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 twelve deportees managed to survive the harsh conditions in the ghetto.
