“A poignant overview of life inside the ghetto.” — School Library Journal (starred review)

Between 1941 and 1945, the small town of Terezín, Czechoslovakia, was a transit camp for thousands of Jewish people. It was a Nazi “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. Here is their story, told through the firsthand accounts and artwork of those who were there.
Back matter includes a time line, a glossary, sources, and an index.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An accessible, carefully researched work that effectively uses primary-source material to make the experience of the Jews of Terezin come alive
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)

The voices of adults and children are a moving reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and a powerful way to make history real to students. The modern photographs of Terezín are juxtaposed against images and photographs created in the 1940s, making for an interesting contrast
—School Library Journal (starred review)

This excellent book, a reminder of genocidal horrors, is fascinating on its own and enriches units on World War II.
—Library Media Connection (starred review)

A poignant legacy of writings, drawings and music. Historical exposition, diary excerpts and visual materials are placed side by side to make a compelling narrative
—Kirkus Reviews

Even libraries with substantial Holocaust collections will want this generously sized, illustrated account that blends the searing history of the horrific concentration camp with personal testimonies of those who were there, artwork of both established painters and children, and quotes from survivors oral histories and secret diary entries
—Booklist

Well written and visually appealing, Terezin will supplement personal interest and curricular requirements alike.…Unique perspective and extensive details provided in text and images.Most libraries will want to add this well executed social history to their collections.
—VOYA

A varied and fascinating account—for readers over age 8—of what was in truth a brutal transit camp
—Wall Street Jounal

In this hauntingly thorough monograph, horror never abates as truths and lies of history are clearly exposed.
—San Francisco Chronicle

Thought this might be a bit simple, but it’s one of the best books I’ve read on the holocaust. Germans were so deceitful and the red cross so naive or stupid. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent preparation for a visit to Terezin. A must if you are visiting Prague. Also a good review of what you saw once you get home. Chilling to see images and pictures in the book, then to see it in real life. Amazing to see just how cruel we can be to each other.

When I had to write a 7-page report on Theresienstadt (Terezin), I thought I would be getting all of my information from 2-paragraph entries in Holocaust books. When I found this, I was delighted. Even though the book was short, it had a ton of useful information. There were great pictures to go along with the content, as well as interesting facts on the side. This book contains pretty much everything you would want to know about Terezin, including housing, feeding, working, and economic situations. I was extremely happy with this book, and it is factual as well as entertaining!

I have read many, many memoirs and novels about the Holocaust, it's my love of history and WWII perhaps. Though extremely gut wrenching, I cannot ignore the voices who have survived and want us to remember. Having read a memoir about a survivor of Terezin, I wanted to read this to get more perspective. I would love to visit Europe some day and contemplate the reality of this period of history.

Un libro poco extenso, pero con unas imágenes y descripciones muy buenas.
Un libro ideal si quieres una aproximación más descriptiva del campo de concentración de Terezin.
