Many families received letters from government agencies in the 1960’s and 1970’s indicating that Holocaust victims from Nuremberg, Vienna, Hamburg and Stuttgart, had been deported in late 1941 to Riga. The general assumption was the Riga Ghetto, however, four transports were diverted to the Jungfernhof concentration camp outside of Riga:
Transport # 4, Nuremberg, deported on November 29, 1941.
Transport # ?, Stuttgart, deported on December 1, 1941.
Transport # 13, Vienna, deported on December 3, 1941.
Transport # ?, Hamburg, deported on December 6, 1941.
The number of the transport, changes, depending on what archive you use, but the dates remain the same. Many archives have not updated their files. You can refer to
Wolfgang Scheffler and Diana Schulle, 'Book of Remembrance: The German, Austrian and Czechoslovakian Jews deported to the Baltic States', 2003.
which includes deportation lists of all victims, deported to the Baltic States. Many academic libraries have access to this book. Also the International Tracing Service (ITS) is a reliable source for information concerning who was deported where.
