TEREZIN Camp - a photos folder
TEREZIN - PAMATNIK NARODNIHO UTRPENI - TEREZIN - MEMORY OF NATIONAL SUFFERING. A folder containing 16 photographs (connected to an open chain) depicting the various structures of the concentration camp to the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia - Theresienstadt. Published by V. Kovarik Terezin. The photographs are described in Czech.
In the photos: the entrance gate to the camp which reads: ''Arbeit macht Frei'' [work makes you free], the Richard' workshop where many of the prisoners perished, the lot near the headquarters where new prisoners were received when arrived at the camp, the women's courtyard, Terezin's torture chamber, corpse storage room before being cremated, The execution yard, the wooden bunks on which the prisoners slept, a prison for special prisoners, the 'gate of death' through which the prisoners were taken to their deaths in the yard where they were shot, the cemetery beyond the camp fence, the crematorium where 250 victims were burned daily, and more.
TEREZIN or Theresienstadt is a fortress in the Czech Republic, about 60 km north of Prague, which served as a military prison during World War I, and as a concentration camp for Protestant Jews of Bohemia and Moravia and to the Jews of Central and Western Europe during the Nazi occupation during World War II. The place was called a "ghetto" by the Nazi authorities, in an attempt to give the place a different class image. About 90% of the Jewish prisoners in Theresienstadt were murdered by the Nazis. Out of 160,000 Jewish prisoners sent to the camp, 19,000 remained in the camp at the end of the war.
Booklet: 14.5x10.5. Photographs: 10x14. Very good condition.
