Transport I/90 from Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 17/03/1943

During the month of March 1943, the Gestapo launched only this single Transport from Berlin to Theresienstadt. This was the fourth and last large transport with nearly or over 1,000 persons from Berlin to Theresienstadt. Unlike the smaller transports, this one likely departed not from Anhalter Bahnhof, but from Berlin Moabit/Putlitzstrasse train station; however, one testimony places the site of the deportation at the Berlin-Grunewald train station. The transport departed on 17 March 1943 and arrived a day later in Theresienstadt. The train was ordered by the Gestapo and provided by Deutsche Reichsbahn. The transport consisted of 1,342 Jews, of whom 663 were women and 620 were men. The average age of the deportees was 56. The youngest of them was an infant, less than a year old and the oldest was aged 92. Forty-five of the deportees were under 12, fifty-three of them were between the ages of 13 and 18, 155 of them were between 19 and 45, 446 were between 46 and 60, and 570 of the deportees were between the ages of 61 and 85. Fourteen of the deportees were over 85 years old. According to historian Alfred Gottwaldt , the train consisted of 1164 Jews from Berlin. In addition there were also 20 Jews from East Prussia who had to leave Königsberg two days before, 33 Jews from Braunschweig and Hannover and 41 from Frankfurt/Main, who were deported to Berlin a day before, and four Jews from Leipzig. It has not been established whether a group of 22 Jews from Trier was also on board that specific transport....
