Lost train

The Lost Train, Lost Transport or Train of the Lost is the name given to the last of three trains used to transport prisoners away from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during the Nazi era in the final phase of World War II, when British troops approached the camp. For this purpose, between April 6 and 11, 1945, three transport trains with a total of about 6,800 persons called "exchange Jews" by the SS, de facto hostages, were assembled and prepared for departure.[1] Their destination was to be the concentration camp Theresienstadt in the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
