        This transport which arrived from Prague in Theresienstadton February 25, 1945, received in the ghetto the designation "Ae4."

        According to a report issued by the Jewish Administration in Theresienstadt on that day, 522 names appeared on the deportation list but two of them had not arrived. A study of the records reveals that one of them was deported to Theresienstadt later on Transport “Ae9” on March 16, and that one woman had died on the day of the transport; the cause of death, however, was not specified.

        The report also shows that the deportees had reached Theresienstadt at 12:50 p.m. that day and that the deportees’ intake (Transportarbeiten) in the area known by the ghetto inhabitants as the “Schleuse”—had ended at 8:00 p.m. While in the Schleuse, the deportees had all valuables that appeared on a list of contraband confiscated by SS and Czech police. Afterwards, they were housed in severely overcrowded barracks.

        I In a memorandum signed the following day on February 26 by Benjamin Murmelstein, chair of the Theresienstadt Judenältestenrat (Council of Jewish Elders), four men and five women were recorded as “unfit for labour”.

        This transport is also mentioned in a ghetto diary written by Eva Mändl Roubicková. On February 25, 1945, Roubicková wrote, “A transport from Prague arrived”; two days later, she added, “The people from Prague feel as if they are superior and are really dissatisfied; nothing suits them and they pity themselves a great deal.”

        Most of the deportees in this transport survived the war; eight perished.
