Transport from Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt a. Main (Wiesbaden), Hesse-Nassau, Germany to Berlin, Berlin (Berlin), City of Berlin, Germany on 01/03/1943

This transport left Frankfurt on March 1, 1943 with 11 Jews who were deported to the extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in occupied Poland. According to the deportation list, entitled 'Migration' and signed by the head of the Frankfurt Gestapo, Oberregierungsrat and SS-Obersturmbannführer Oswald Poche on the date of departure, the majority of the deportees were women. All the deportees were between 19 and 59 years old.
The deportees were not taken directly to Auschwitz but first to Berlin where they joined one of the "Osttransporte" ("East transports"). These were mass transports with around 1,500 Jews from Berlin and other German cities that left from the Berlin-Moabit cargo station at the Pulitzbrücke for Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Prior to deportation, all deportees from Frankfurt (apart from one) had been living at Hermesweg 5-7, Seilerstasse 14 or Röderbergweg 87, three of over 300 "Judenhäuser" (Jew houses) which existed in Frankfurt during the Holocaust. Two Jews who had been living in the village of Gehlberg in the Thuringian forest were deported on this transport from Frankfurt, too....
