Transport I/123 from Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 27/03/1945

This transport departed from Berlin on 27 March or 28 March 1945 and arrived in Theresienstadt in the early evening of the same day. The transport consisted of 42 Jews, of whom 23 were women and 19 were men. The average age of the deportees was 44. The youngest of them was an infant, less than a year old and the oldest was aged 80. One of them were between the ages of 13 and 18, twenty of them were between 19 and 45, twelve were between 46 and 60, and eight 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. 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 and were taken from Berlin to Theresienstadt. The transport was given the reference I/123 in the Theresienstadt ghetto listings, where the Roman numeral I refers to Berlin....
