Evacuation transports to Theresienstadt

From 20 April until liberation, “evacuation transports” from other camps brought over 15,000 additional prisoners—mostly Jewish survivors from Poland and Hungary—into Theresienstadt, doubling the population. They arrived starving and sick, triggering a typhus epidemic that claimed many more lives even as Nazi power was collapsing.
