Transport AAg from Olomouc, Olomouc Mesto, Moravia-Silesia, Czechoslovakia to Theresienstadt, Ghetto, Czechoslovakia on 30/06/1942

Transport AAg left Olomouc (Olmütz) for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on June 30, 1942. It consisted of 900 Jews. According to archival records most of them were residents of neighboring towns and villages, including Tovacov (Tobitschau), Hranice (Weißkirchen), Kojetin, Lipnik (Leipnik), Lostice and Prerov (Prerau). The deportees were assembled at a school building in Hodolany, a neighborhood near the local train station. Prior to the train’s departure, several staff members of the Jewish community’s Transports Department in Prague came to Olomouc to carry out the administrative measures ordered by the Central Office for Jewish Immigration. They prepared a list of deportees, registered Jewish property, issued notices regarding the date of deportation, and assisted in packing and carrying luggage. The Jews were transferred from the school building to the train station and put on a train. After their arrival in Bohusovice, the deportees had to disembark and were forced to march the remaining 3 km to Theresienstadt....
