Built within the protective walls of a fort one hour outside of Prague is the
hideous concentration camp of Terezin. It was the final stop on the way
to Auschwitz for Jews, a few Christians, Gypsies, homosexuals, and political dissidents.
The Nazis waged a huge deception on the public, pretending that they were conducting a ghetto neighborhood within the high walls. The train cars went silently into the camp, and silently out, as the nearby villagers wondered what or who was coming and going and why. Terrible Terezin outside Prague was named for Maria Therese.
The Nazis were very skilled with propaganda, and created a false film for the Red Cross, which was so convincing that the Red Cross gave this camp, which murdered tens of thousands, glowing compliments.
