Regina and Karel lived in Žižkov in what was then Lutherova Street 83, now Seifert Street 683/83. In 1942, she was 56 years old and Karel was 22. They did not stay in Terezín for long and on 8 September 1942 they were placed on transport Bk together with 998 other people and taken to the concentration camp in Maly Trostinets near Minsk in today’s Belarus. However, the train did not reach the camp. A few kilometres before Maly Trostinets, it stopped in the forest. Here, pits were dug, and each of the thousand passengers of this train was brought to the edge of the pit, received a bullet in the back of the head, fell dead into the pit, and was covered with lime.
There were six similar trains to Little Trostinec. Later, the Nazis developed much more effective methods for liquidating “undesirables” – that’s a chapter on Auschwitz, Treblinka and other extermination camps.
