Theresienstadt family camp
In September 1943, around 5,000 Jews were deported to Auschwitz from the Theresienstadt concentration camp, in two transports. The transports included men, women, and children. In contrast to the usual practice of separating male and female prisoners, these people from Theresienstadt were housed together in a separate section of the camp. Their area (B II b) was known as the Theresienstadt family camp.
