Transport 48d from Wien, Vienna, Austria to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 16/08/1944

Transport No. 48d left Vienna’s Nordbahnhof (Northern Railway Station) on August 16, 1944, and arrived in Theresienstadt on August 17. It consisted of 16 Jews. The average age of the deportees was 53, four were over 61.
Due to the small number of deportees, they were put on passenger train No. 723 that left daily at 6 PM from Nordbahnhof (northern train station) in Vienna 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") destined for Prague (Praha). From there, the journey continued to Theresienstadt.
Upon arrival, the transport was listed in the ghetto records as IV/15d. The Roman numeral IV represented Vienna as city of origin.
