Establishment of Theresienstadt ghetto and transit camp

The SS decided to turn the Main Fortress of Terezín into a ghetto and transit camp for Jews from the Protectorate and, later, other countries. The first construction commando of 342 men arrived from Prague on 24 November. Czech residents were expelled, and the fortress town became a sealed Jewish ghetto under SS control.
