This is a four-volume publication about the spiritual, intellectual and cultural life of Terezin (Teresienstadt). This town 60 km from Prague was turned into a concentration camp/ghetto for Jews; for most the next stop was the camp of Auschwitz (Oswiecim) or other death camps. Terezin was a show camp for commissions from the Red Cross to demonstrate the happy life of the Jews, an eerie place in the Third Reich, 'exemplary Jewish settlement' to lie to the whole world about the reality of the 'final solution to the Jewish issue'.
