Theresienstadt,Ghetto,Czechoslovakia
The transport left Leipzig for Theresienstadt on June 19 or 20, 1943. It consisted of two Jews from Leipzig, Zilla and Dan Zülzer. As this EZ transport left one to two days after transport XVI/2, it can be assumed that these two deportees were most likely intended for the previous transport but did not make it. The Head of the Gestapo of Leipzig, Karl Fistler organized this transport along with the forced cooperation of the Leipzig Jewish community. The transport was likely conducted by regular train under guard. Its final destination was the Theresienstadt Ghetto, where it arrived on June 20, 1943. The transport was given the reference XVI/2 Ez 1, where the Roman numeral XVI refers to Leipzig. Ez were the German initials given to special transports of individuals (Einzelreisende Sondertransport).
