The Shoah (1939–1945)

First convoys from Prague to Łódź

16 oct. 1941·Prague

Toll
bilan non établi

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

Five convoys leave Prague station for the Łódź ghetto, the first mass deportations from the Protectorate; those departing are assembled at the Holešovice exhibition palace before departure.

The first deportation convoys depart from Prague toward the ghetto of Łódź, in the autumn. Those summoned receive a number, a few days' notice, and orders to report to the Holešovice exhibition palace, converted into an assembly point. The belongings left behind are inventoried and seized. Further convoys follow in the subsequent weeks toward Minsk and toward Theresienstadt, which has just been designated as the concentration site for the Protectorate.
