October 4, 1944:
- "All women and children on a train traveling from Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia, to Auschwitz are gassed upon arrival."
"A smiling Petr Ginz is pictured with his parents and sister.
A teenager when he was sent to the Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia, camp/ghetto, Petr joined with other talented boys, led by Professor Valter Eisinger, to publish a secret "magazine" called Vedem (In the Lead).
Risking their lives, they painstakingly copied drawings, poetry, and stories by hand at night in their barracks.
They then distributed the magazine throughout the ghetto.
In September 1944 Petr was one of 2,499 prisoners deported to the gas chambers at Auschwitz."
