First deportations from the Protectorate to ghettos

Between 16 October and 3 November 1941, five transports carrying around 5,000 Jews departed from Prague to the Łódź ghetto, followed by a transport of about 1,000 Jews from Brno to Minsk. Although earlier mass deportations had already taken place in 1939 under Aktion Nisko, these transports marked the beginning of systematic ghetto deportations from the Protectorate and a decisive escalation from discrimination and dispossession toward large-scale, organised removal of the Jewish population to Nazi-controlled ghettos in the East.
