Terezin: Voices From The Holocaust

Ruth Thomson

Terezin: Voices From The Holocaust Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany turned the small town of Terezin, Czechoslovakia, into a ghetto, and then into a transit camp for thousands of Jewish people. It was a show camp, where inmates were forced to use their artistic talents to fool the world about the truth of gas chambers and horrific living conditions for imprisoned Jews.Secretly, these artists also created images of what they observed, from the overcrowding to the deplorable, unsanitary living conditions to the plight of the elderly and infirm.Here, in a meticulously researched book, is their story told through the inmates' secret diary entries, artwork, and excerpts from memoirs.
