Unlike, transport Bh that left Ostrava two days earlier, transport Bi consisted mainly of residents from Ostrava itself. The deportees were assembled on September 19 at a school building on Kopernikusgasse in Oderfurt (today, Privoz), a neighborhood located near the local train station.
Prior to the train’s departure, several staff members of the Prague Jewish community Transports Department arrived in Ostrava 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, issued notices regarding the date of deportation, and assisted in packing and carrying luggage.
