Theresienstadt
Basic info
Most political activists were sent to a concentration camp named Theresienstadt
Started out as a ghetto but later became a labor camp
Theresienstadt was used to deceive the world of what was happening to all the people in those camps
DATA
1 of 15,000 camps in Europe
97,297 people were executed or died of disease from 1941 and 1945
Daily life
Forced to do physical labor
Sleeping quarters had extremely cramped and unsanitary conditions
Prisoners were permitted to write letters to make sure they were not suspicious but there was a very small word limit
