August 29, 1942, Deportation of Jews from Wiesbaden, Germany

In 1942 and 1943, German Jews were deported by the tens of thousands directly to the extermination camps, mainly to Auschwitz. Some forty-two thousand Jews from Germany, mostly elderly people and those with "privileged status," were sent to Theresienstadt; the majority either perished there or were deported to the extermination camps.
