About "Transport" (5:53 min.)
For the six children, 'transport' becomes a word they learn to fear in the camp. To be put on a transport means to be deported from Theresienstadt. No one knows with certainty where to, but everyone senses it is someplace much worse than Theresienstadt. Rumours say that ‘transport’ means certain death. Among other themes in the chapter, we hear about Salle, who assists when the transports leave the camp, and Poul who watches them secretly. Both of them experience situations in which cruelty and chance decide the difference between life and death.
