Transport AAf left Olomouc (Olmütz) for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on 26 June, 1942. It consisted of 900 Jews. According to existing archival records most of the deportees were residents of towns and villages in the vicinity of Olomouc. Among these were Tovacov (Tobitschau), Hranice (Weißkirchen), Kojetin, Lipnik (Leipnik), Lostice and Prerov (Prerau).
Several staff members of the Prague Jewish community Transports Department arrived in Olomouc to carry out administrative measures according to the orders they received from the Central Office for Jewish Immigration. They prepared a list of deportees, registered Jewish property and issued notices regarding the date of deportation.
The Jews were transferred from the school to the train station and put on a train. Upon arrival in Bohusovice, the deportees had to disembark and were forced to march the remaining 3 km to Theresienstadt.
