Transport I/112 from Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 26/05/1944

This transport departed from Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin on 26 May 1944 and arrived in Theresienstadt in the early evening of the same day. The transport consisted of 32 Jews, of whom 19 were women and 13 were men. The average age of the deportees was 51.5. The youngest of them was a 4-year-old boy and the oldest was aged 82. Two of the deportees were under 12, seven of them were between the ages of 19 and 45, nine were between 46 and 60, and fourteen of the deportees were between the ages of 61 and 85. Although the city of Berlin had been declared "Free of Jews", the Gestapo continued to search for and arrest individual Jews that met the criteria for deportation. The deportees were brought to the assembly site, where they were detained until a larger group of Jews was assembled and the Reichsbahn had supplied one or two railway cars for their transport. From 1 March 1944, the Jewish hospital in Berlin-Wedding, Iranische Strasse 2-4, was the last remaining center of Jewish life in Berlin and, sadly, also served as the assembly camp. On the day of the transport, the deportees had to leave the site. They were taken to Anhalter Bahnhof located on Schöneberger Strasse or to another spot along the adjoining tracks. There they were ordered to board one or two old third-class rail cars, which were connected to a regular train that left the station for Dresden. In Dresden the cars with the Jews were connected to another regular train headed for Prague....
