České Budějovice

The building of the Täubl lath and frame factory was used as an assembly point for Jewish deportees due to its proximity to the railway station. Hundreds of deportees slept on their luggage on the large factory floor. The sanitary facilities were insufficient for such a large number of people. The prisoners were dependent on the food they had brought with them, which is why they tried to keep non-perishable items for a later time. They had packed as many clothes and practical items in their bags as they could in preparation for an uncertain future. Based on their transport numbers, they had to hand over their remaining ration cards and house keys to officials at several desks. It was also necessary to fill out a form agreeing to surrender their property to the Prague Central Office for Jewish Emigration (Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung in Prag).

A transport (designated by the letters Akb) was dispatched from České Budějovice to the Terezín ghetto on 18 April 1942. Only 32 of the 910 deportees lived to see the liberation.
