Transport AAm left Olomouc (Olmütz) for the Theresienstadt Ghetto on July 4, 1942. According to archival records it consisted of 900 Jews, residents of Olomouc and several neighboring towns including Kojetin, Holice (Holitz), Prostejov (Prossnitz) and Vicemerice-Ustav. 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 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....
