Transport 29 from Wien, Vienna, Austria to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 28/06/1942

Transport No. 29 departed from Aspangbahnhof in Vienna (Wien) on June 28, 1942 and arrived in Theresienstadt on June 29. The transport consisted of 1,005 Jews. 961 deportees were older than 61, the average age of the Jews on that transport was 74 years. The deportees, over 60% of whom were women, included three sisters of the eminent psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud, Marie Freud (born in 1861, her number in the transport was IV/2-947), Adolfine Freud (born in 1862, her number in the transport was IV/2-946) and Pauline Winternitz (born in 1864, her number in the transport was IV/2-936). The train's route took it through Vienna’s Nordbahnhof, Floridsdorf, Jedlersdorf, Stockerau, Absdorf-Hippersdorf, Gmuend, Tabor, Prague (Praha) and Bohusovice. At the rail station in Bohusovice, the Jews were taken off the train and forced to make their way to Theresienstadt on foot, a distance of about 3 km. This, the second transport to arrive from Vienna, was given the reference IV/2 in the Theresienstadt ghetto listings; in this regard the Roman numeral IV refers to Vienna. During the summer months in Theresienstadt many of the elderly Jews from these transports died of starvation and disease. Others were transferred to Treblinka in October 1942 and murdered.
