First transports from Theresienstadt “to the East”

Theresienstadt functioned as a transit camp: on 9 January, the first transport of 1,000 Jews was sent to Riga. Throughout 1942, transports went to Lublin, Izbica, Zamość, Maly Trostenets and Treblinka. Deportees faced near-certain death, making Theresienstadt a key node in the genocide of Central European Jews.
