The picture series consists of at least 59 photos in the format 6 – 7,1 x 9,1 – 10,1 cm. Since the pictures were glued to file covers and preserved in an album format, there are no images of the pictures’ backs. The album includes photographs of three deportations that were implemented by the Würzburg branch office of the Gestapo. Handwritten antisemitic comments were added to the Würzburg photos from April 1942. The picture series shows the details of the deportation process: the deportees’ arrival at the Platz'scher Garten assembly point, their processing, waiting and forced march across the city to Würzburg's central station. One part of the series is kept at Staatsarchiv Würzburg (Würzburg State Archives), another at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). The chronological order of the images cannot be reliably restored.

The series is part of a photo album created by the Würzburg Gestapo that shows the deportations from Würzburg and Kitzingen in November 1941, March 1942, and April 1942. After its discovery by Isaac Wahler, a U.S. soldier who had been born in Nuremberg, the album was used as evidence in the Nuremberg trials and in the Eichmann trial. Copies of single photographs and of the entire album have survived in various archives. The whereabouts of the original album had been unclear for decades until historian Dr. Edith Raim recovered it in the early 2000s. Twenty-four of the original 28 file covers that make up the album are kept in Würzburg; the whereabouts of the other four are unclear. Nineteen images are copies from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), which can be traced back to Isaac Wahler.
