The deportation to Poland of thousands of Jews from the Czech Protectorate and the German cities of Hamburg, Hanover and Berlin whom the Nazis had concentrated in the fortress prison of Therezin was reported here today by an official Czechoslovakian Government spokesman.

The Czech official estimated that the Germans had originally sent about 50,000 to Therezin, of whom nearly 40,000 were aged men and women between sixty-five and seventy-five years of age.
