At the beginning of 1945 France, Belgium and the Southern Netherlands had already been liberated by the allied troops. On March 5, the American troops arrived on the Western bank of Cologne and the Eastern bank was liberated on April 14 1945. However, despite this turn of events, transports still left the city. The sources do not state when this last transport containing 45 or 46 Jews departed from Cologne. Yet, it is certain that this transport arrived in Theresienstadt on March 14, 1945. It was given the reference III/11 in the ghetto listings, where the Roman numeral III refers to Cologne. Thirty seven of the deportees were women and and 8 were men. The average age of the deportees was 43.5. The oldest was 63 years old.
