Transport 46g from Wien, Vienna, Austria to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 01/04/1943

Transport No. 46g left Vienna’s Nordbahnhof (Northern Railway Station) on April 1, 1943, and arrived at Theresienstadt on April 2. It consisted of 72 Jews. The average age of the deportees was 48. 23 of the deportees were over 61 years old. Four armed policemen were assigned to guard the deportees throughout the journey. According to available archival records these were Hironym Geier, Karl Lahner and Stefan Stoiber and Meister der Schutzpolizei Anton Berger. They received their orders by telephone from the Gestapo. The guards reported at the station’s postal ramp at 3 PM and awaited the Jewish deportees. Due to the small number of deportees, the security police (Sipo) in Vienna ordered only a few cars. They were attached to passenger train no. 723 that left daily at 6 PM from Nordbahnhof in Vienna. It went via Breclav (Lundenburg), to Brno (Brünn). In Brno, the cars were disengaged and reattached to a train of the "Protektoratsbahnen" (the company that operated trains in the so called "Protektorat") destined for Prague (Praha). From Prague it went to Bohusovice (Bauschowitz). At the station in Bohusovice, the Jews were taken off the train and forced to walk about three kilometers to Theresienstadt....
