First transport from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz-Birkenau

From October 1942 to October 1944, the vast majority of transports from Theresienstadt went to Auschwitz-Birkenau. In total, more than 150,000 Jews passed through Theresienstadt; around 35,000 died there, and some 83,000 perished in extermination and concentration camps, primarily Auschwitz. This made Theresienstadt a central hub for deportations in the genocide of Jewish people in Central Europe.
