Transport I/105 from Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 10/01/1944

Unlike the smaller transports, this one departed not from Anhalter Bahnhof, but from Berlin Moabit/Putlitzstrasse train station on 10 January 1944 and arrived a day later in Theresienstadt. The train was ordered by the Gestapo and provided by Deutsche Reichsbahn. The transport consisted of 352 Jews, of whom 235 were women and 117 were men. The average age of the deportees was 62.4. The youngest of them was a 2-year-old boy and the oldest was an 89-year-old woman. Three of the deportees were under 12, two of them were between the ages of 13 and 18, twenty-three of them were between 19 and 45, 112 were between 46 and 60, and 208 of the deportees were between the ages of 61 and 85. Four of the deportees were over 85 years old. The vast majority of them were patients of neurological wards from all over Germany who had been brought to Berlin. The transport also included divorced Jews from mixed marriages or Jews whose Aryan partner had died. The procedure of dispatching the transport was different from the smaller transports. From the assembly camp the deportees were taken with trucks to the train station, where they had to wait for hours until everyone was registered and counted. This procedure lasted from the afternoon until the evening, when the train left Berlin. They traveled all night long and arrived the next morning in Theresienstadt....
