Transport XIX/9 from Teplice Sanov, Teplice-Sanov, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 22/02/1945

The fifteenth transport left the Usti nad Labem area to the Theresienstadt Ghetto on 22 February 1945. It consisted of 21 deportees, including two families with children as young as 15. Very little is known about this transport. According to the records of the Jewish adminstration in Theresienstadt, the transport departed from the city of Teplice-Sanov (Teplitz-Schönau). 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/9 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 21 deportees managed to survive the harsh conditions in the ghetto.
