Each deportation is given a separate chapter of the book. The deportations (chapters) are sorted in chronological order. Entry of each prisoner reproduces last and first name(s), date of birth and other information, which differs according to individual fates: deportation from Terezín, date and place of death, or a liberation place. The memorial book opens with an introductory word of the President of the Czech Republic Václav Havel, historical overview of the genocide of Czech Jews and of history of Terezín, written by Miroslav Kárný, and list of all transports to and from Terezín and other transports from Prague and Brno to Lodz, Auschwitz, Minsk and Ujazdow.

The data collected for the books were transformed into the Database of the Holocaust Victims available online on the holocaust.cz.
