Kladovo transport

The Kladovo Transport was an illegal Jewish refugee transport, started on November 25, 1939, in Vienna, the aim of which was to flee to Eretz Israel. As a result of an early freeze of the Danube, the refugees in the Yugoslav river-port of Kladovo had to overwinter. As 1940 progressed, they waited in vain for a sea-going vessel to continue their journey. In 1941, they had to move to the port of Šabac on the Sava, where they were caught by the Nazis. Only about 200 young people and a few adults could be saved or escaped on their own. The men of the transport were shot on 12 and 13 October by units of the Wehrmacht on the orders of General Franz Böhme. In early January 1942, the women were transferred to Sajmište concentration camp, where they were murdered between 19 March and 10 May 1942 in a gas van, by order of Herbert Andorfer.
