Zimmermann's case study provides a detailed analyses of a transport from Essen to Terezín. The author shows the structure and dynamic of a deportation and describes what people and authorities were involved. This was a complex process based on a division of labour. In the deportation process from Essen to Terezín, the tax office, the labour exchange, the banking institutions (where the deported had their accounts), the Reichsbahndirektion Essen and a number of others were involved or did at least know about the deportations.
