Transport from Wien, Vienna, Austria to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 19/03/1945

The transport left Vienna (Wien) on March 19, 1945 and arrived in Theresienstadt on March 20. It consisted of 11 Jews. Allied aerial bombings on March 12 damaged Vienna’s Nordbahnhof (Northern Railway Station), however it seems this did not prevent the deportation. The Jews were put on a train that left daily at 6 PM from Nordbahnhof 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. On its arrival, the transport was listed in ghetto records as transport IV/17. The Roman numeral IV represented Vienna as city of origin.
