Is there a list or way to see what number a prisoner in Theresienstadt had? I assume all prisoners were tatooed with a number?

No, they did not have numbers at Theresienstadt. Only at Auschwitz.

You can send a request for information to the Israeli Theresienstadt Museum via this link:

Not everywhere and not in all circumstances tattoos were used.
But every prisoner, deportee, slave-worker, concentration-inmate had a number in the administration of the system. Every deportation transport had a number and each deportee had a transportation number.
