Wave 49 – "4th Large Transport of the Elderly“ to Theresienstadt, 03/17/1943

Scope and content

Contains:

I) Correspondence of the Stapoleitstelle Berlin to the Chief Finance President concerning the confiscation of property of the deported Jews.
II) Transport list: "4th Large Transport of the Elderly" (I/90) to Theresienstadt with 1200 listed names, 03/17/1943.

With the so-called “4th Large Transport of the Elderly” – which was (despite a time lag) directly related to the “Fabrikaktion” (“factory action”) – also 35 children under the age of 15 were deported to Theresienstadt. Furthermore, not all prisoners came from Berlin. Thus 121 came from other places in the Reich's territory, including various places in Brandenburg, Leipzig, Tilsit, Erfurt and Hannover. Some of them had been transferred to Berlin only a few days before; some of their names are not on the transport list.
