80 years ago, the first Jewish transport left the Prague-Bubny railway station. A thousand people went to the ghetto in Lodz, Poland. The Nazis thus began mass deportations of Jewish men, women and children from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Other transports headed for the newly formed ghetto in Terezín, from where they continued further east to the extermination camps.

“Several years before this war broke out, Hitler explained that he would educate a generation so cunning, so cruel, so bestial in Germany that the world would stagnate.” Even such words could be heard by people on Czechoslovak radio shortly after World War II.
During the victorious campaign in Europe, the Soviet army and the Allies gradually liberated the concentration camps. But they weren’t ready for what they would see behind the barbed wire.
Exactly 80 years ago, the Germans began mass deportations of Jews from the protectorate. At that time, the first transport of Jewish men, women and children left Prague-Bubny railway station. Theme by Lucie Korcová
The radio also reported the following: “The world did not want to believe it. He couldn’t believe it. Numerous reports of atrocities in concentration camps, of the suffering of Jews, were also received as reports. They took note, but human imagery was too weak to realize as a terrible fact. “
The first ghetto for the Jewish population in the occupied territories began to be built by the Germans shortly after the invasion of Poland in September 1939. They became even harder after the attack on the Soviet Union.
“At that time, Reinerman Heydrich is also in charge of the final settlement of the Jewish question by Herman Göring, but it is already known that this must be a violent solution. That it will no longer be just ghettoization, but it will be the physical destruction of those people, “Vojtěch Kyncl, a historian from the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences, explained to Radiožurnál.
“Whether it had to be a labor or a mass extermination process was a demand for further development. And he decided during the autumn of 1941. “
Transshipment yard in Terezín
On October 10, 1941, the highest Nazi leadership of the protectorate, headed by the deputy imperial protector Reinhard Heydrich, ordered the establishment of a ghetto in Terezín. It was there that the Germans gained most of Bohemia and Moravia, but also France or Germany. The Terezín ghetto functioned as a transhipment depot, with concentration camps being the destination since 1942.

„Sobibor, Belzec, Chelmno. Ty všechny běží od prosince 1941. Treblinka nabíhá v červenci 1942. Za půl rok už odchází transporty z ghetta Terezín do těchto vyhlazovacích táborů. Ovšem během této doby už je předělávána Osvětim, která je od podzimu 1942 tím největším prostorem, kam začínají přicházet hlavní transporty z celé Evropy,“ dodává Kyncl.
Od 9. ledna 1942 bylo z Terezína do vyhlazovacích táborů odvezeno téměř 90 tisíc lidí. Konce války se dočkaly pouhé tři tisíce. O většinu rodiny přišla také Eva Lišková. Za války prošla Terezínem a Osvětimí. Spolu se svou matkou přežila dva pochody smrti i samotnou válku. Po osvobození ale marně vyhlížela otce a další příbuzné.
„Myslím, že nejhorší bylo, když jsme se vrátily a zjistily jsme, že jsme se vrátily samy. Bylo hrozné, když jsem se dozvěděla, jak to dopadlo. Válku jsme nevyhráli. V žádném případě,“ vyprávěla pro projekt Paměť národa.
Osud všech deportovaných židovských mužů, žen a dětí připomíná každoročně Památník ticha akcí Bubnování pro Bubny, a to právě 16. října. V den, kdy odtud odjel první transport.
