Theresienstadt is named in the postwar account of Auguste van Pels’s deportation, marking one stage in the movement of a former Secret Annex resident through multiple camps. The available account places her there after Auschwitz and Buchenwald and before an uncertain further transfer; it does not describe the camp itself or establish where she died.

Place in Auguste van Pels’s deportation

The account traces Auguste van Pels’s route from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen, then to Buchenwald. On April 9, 1945, she was transported from Buchenwald to Theresienstadt. The sequence locates Theresienstadt within a series of forced transfers late in the war, rather than presenting it as a destination at which her story definitively ended.

Uncertain final transfer and outcome

After Theresienstadt, Auguste apparently was taken to another concentration camp. The account does not identify that camp, give a date for the transfer, or specify the circumstances of her death. It states only that she did not survive and that the date of her death is unknown. Theresienstadt therefore has a precise but limited place in the record: a documented stop on her route, followed by an uncertain final movement and an outcome known without its exact time or location.
