Theresienstadt concentration camp, Concentration camp in Czech Republic
Theresienstadt concentration camp served as a ghetto and transit point during World War II.
Established by the SS during Nazi German occupation, it operated from November 1941 until May 1945.
Despite harsh conditions, prisoners held clandestine education classes and cultural events.
Today, Theresienstadt serves as a museum and a memorial to those who were interned.
Theresienstadt was deceptively presented as a 'model' Jewish settlement for propaganda purposes.
