... The last 1,200 ghetto children were evacuated from
Bialystok in the final days of August 1943. Under the
supervision of Gestapo officers, physicians and women
volunteers, these children were transported in closed
railroad cars to Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia,
where they were isolated in separate barracks. None of
the other inmates of the camp were allowed to come in
contact with them, on penalty of death.Connected nodes
