4. 25 November 1942 – 76 <strong>Jews</strong> deported to <strong>The</strong>resienstadt 259<br />

5. 2 December 1942 – 70 <strong>Jews</strong> deported to <strong>The</strong>resienstadt 260<br />

6. 26 February 1943 – 46 <strong>Jews</strong> deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau 261<br />

7. 2 March 1943 – 4 <strong>Jews</strong> deported individually to Auschwitz-Birkenau 262<br />

8. 29 June 1943 – 1 Jew deported individually to <strong>The</strong>resienstadt 263 and<br />

9. 11 January 1944 – 16 <strong>Jews</strong> deported to <strong>The</strong>resienstadt. 264<br />

<strong>The</strong>se figures include only two documented cases <strong>of</strong> individual deportations, but it<br />

can be assumed that others took place. Excluding the second deportation, <strong>of</strong> which<br />

the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jews</strong> remains unknown, the total figure <strong>of</strong> deportees computes to<br />

423 <strong>Jews</strong>. It is most probable that the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jews</strong> on the second deportation<br />

either matched or was greater than the first deportation, which consisted <strong>of</strong> 153<br />

<strong>Jews</strong>. If approximately the same figure is used for calculating the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jews</strong><br />

on the second deportation, the total number <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jews</strong> whose domicile was<br />

<strong>Magdeburg</strong> at the time <strong>of</strong> deportation computes to a figure <strong>of</strong> close to 580 <strong>Jews</strong>.<br />

When this figure is added to the estimated number <strong>of</strong> 185 <strong>Jews</strong> remaining in<br />

<strong>Magdeburg</strong> in July 1944, 265 the total figure reached is approximately 765 <strong>Jews</strong>.<br />
