Theresienstadt

About this book

*Theresienstadt: Hitler's Gift to the Jews* is a gripping account of one man's experiences in the most deceptive of all the places in which the Nazis incarcerated the Jews during the Holocaust: Hitler's "model" ghetto, Theresienstadt. Norbert Troller's memoir recounts his two years in Theresienstadt from early 1942 until September 1944, when he was deported to Auschwitz after the Nazis discovered he and other artists were smuggling out drawings that revealed the horrors of Theresienstadt. Miraculously preserved by his friends, Troller's drawings and watercolors of life inside Theresienstadt add a compelling dimension to his story and are published here for the first time.
