Transport 25 from Wien, Vienna, Austria to Izbica, Krasnystaw, Lublin, Poland on 05/06/1942

Transport No. 25, which consisted of 1,000 Jews (289 of them older than 61 years, the average age of the deportees was 50), left Vienna on June 5th, 1942. Police commander Johann Scholz, together with fifteen armed policemen, guarded the deportees during the trainride. The train was destined to arrive at Izbica on June 8th; some researchers believe that it was diverted to the extermination camp at Sobibor, where the deportees were murdered. Four transports left Vienna between March and June of 1942 and it is presumed that Izbica was the destination. Not one of the deportees on this transport survived.
