Transport from Linz, Upper Austria, Austria to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 15/09/1943

The transport departed from Linz on September 15, 1943, and arrived in Theresienstadt on September 16. It consisted of one Jewish woman, the widow of a former "Aryan" CEO of Hermann Göring Werke, one of the largest corporate companies in the Third Reich. She was deported to Theresienstadt despite the fact that her husband had been killed on the Eastern front. It is not known whether she was driven directly from Linz to Theresienstadt. In most cases, small groups of deportees were sent first to Vienna, where they were put on passenger train No. 723 that left daily at 6 PM from the Nordbahnhof (Northern Railway Station) and travelled via Breclav (Lundenburg) to Brno (Brünn). In Brno, they were transferred to a train run by the "Protektoratsbahnen" (the company that operated trains in the so called "Protektorat"). They continued their journey to Prague (Praha) and from there to Theresienstadt. The transport was listed in the ghetto records as IV/14m Ez. The Roman numeral IV represented Vienna as city of origin.
