The Shoah (1939–1945)
First convoy departed from Hamburg
25 oct. 1941·Hambourg
The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The Jews of Hamburg are gathered in a requisitioned Masonic lodge, then led to Hanover station for a first convoy to the east.
The first convoy to leave Hamburg in the autumn takes the families gathered in a hall in the city toward the Lodz ghetto. Those summoned had been required to fill out asset declarations and hand over their keys before departure. The port, which had been for many the gateway to emigration, becomes the departure point for the convoys heading East.
