The Czech deportees covered a wide age-range, but those from Germany were mainly elderly, chosen for having been decorated in the First World War or for having been particularly distinguished (`Prominenten'). In 1942 Philipp Manes, a former fur merchant, then aged 66, and his wife Gertrud were deported by the Nazis from Berlin to Theresienstadt, a former garrison town in Bohemia whose fortress area of 1½ square miles (barracks, stables, and houses) had been turned into a concentration camp.
