Transport XXI/1 Ez from Opava, Opava, Moravia-Silesia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 06/05/1943

The transport left Opava (Troppau) to the Theresienstadt Ghetto on May 6,1943. It consisted of 2 Jews. Very little is known about this transport. Like elsewhere within the Reich, the local branch of the Association of Jews in Germany was forced to cooperate with the Nazi authorities in organizing the transports. Prior to their deportation, the deportees were searched and all valuable items in their possession were confiscated. It is assumed that the deportees were driven in buses or trucks. In the Theresienstadt Ghetto listings the transport was recorded as XXI/1 EZ, where the Roman numeral XXI refers to the area of Opava. This transport was listed as Ez, which were the German initials for special transport of individuals (Einzelreisende Sondertransport).
