Artist's Comments

During WWII, the Gestapo used Terezín, better known by the German name Theresienstadt, as a ghetto, concentrating Jews from Czechoslovakia, as well as many from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Denmark. Though it was not an extermination camp, of the over 150,000 Jews who arrived there, about 33,000 died in the ghetto itself, mostly because of the appalling conditions arising out of extreme population density. About 88,000 inhabitants were deported to Auschwitz and other extermination camps [2][3] At the end of the war there were 17,247 survivors.

Part of the fortification (Small Fortress) served as the largest Gestapo prison in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, separated from the ghetto. Around 90,000 people went through it, and 2,600 of those died there.

It was liberated on May 9th, 1945 by the Soviet Army.

It just puts a terrible feeling into your heart, it's so hard to comprehend that this really happened. Stunning photo.

Wait until you're actually there, it's so depressing to witness not only the place in which these human souls are buried, but the actual concetration camps (initially cattle stalls) and the dreadful conditions in which they were forced to live. I'm glad you like the picture :)
