Theresienstadt ghetto/concentration camp (Bohemia and Moravia) [Terezin, Czechia]

A Jewish ghetto and concentration camp located in the Czech city of Terezin. Established in November 1941, Theresienstadt was used as a labor camp and a transit camp for Jews deported to killing centers and other camps to the East. Theresienstadt became known as a “model ghetto” and was used in Nazi propaganda. In 1944, the International Red Cross was permitted to visit Theresienstadt, which had been “beautified” to hide Nazi crimes.
