Abstract:
Argues that our image of Theresienstadt is still influenced by the illusions created by Nazi propaganda; our attention is directed to the rich cultural life of the ghetto, and we ignore its misery and its function in the Nazi extermination program. Moreover, German historiographical perceptions differ from the Czech: many of the Czech prisoners were deported to Auschwitz in 1942 to make way for the prisoners from Germany. Analyzes the success of German deception in the Red Cross visit and the Theresienstadt film of summer 1944.
