 Deportation

to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz

Then on 5th April 1944 my name stood on the list for deportation. The transport number was XXIV/5. Together with 288 other inmates I was deported to the ghetto at Theresienstadt.  The journey took three days. We arrived at Theresienstadt on 7th April. I lived there for another seven months until I was transported to Auschwitz on 22nd October 1944. I arrived there on 23rd October. I was murdered two days later on 25th October 1945 .
