Theresienstadt was the name
Nazis gave to the
Czech garrison town of
Terezin[?] in November
1941 when they turned it into a
ghetto. The function of Theresienstadt was to provide a front for the extermination operation of
Jews. To the outside it was presented by the Nazis as a model Jewish settlement, but in reality it was a way station for the Jews on their way to the
concentration camps.
