Charlotte came from the Netherlands to Terezin on transport XXIV/7 (24/7), 6 September 1944 together with 2073 prisoners of which 1231 survived. Charlotte was prisoner Nr. 540 and came with her husband, Robert Leonard Pollack, prisoner Nr. 539

On October 1, 1944 Charlotte was deported to Auschwitz on transport EM, prisoner Nr. 1388, together with 1501 prisoners of which 377 survived. Another webpage reports 293 survivors (http://www.ghetto-theresienstadt.info/terezinghetto.htm#september)
-------------------------------------------------------------
The database of Terezin reports erroneously Charlotte to be a victim of the Shoah, 'murdered' (but no mentioning of date or place of death). This is understandable as she was put on transport in a serious ill condition. She was suffering from hunger oedema or hydropsy and had an enormous belly. She was sent to Auschwitz for "removal" and no one would have thought she could have survived.

The document also erroneously reports the last name as 'Polak-Reinhaus', the Dutch way of writing 'Pollack'. In another document, Schindler's list, her husband Robert is there erroneously listed as 'Pollak', probably likewise believing he came from Holland and thus his name should be written the Dutch way.
