Terezin to the Czechs. Theresienstadt to Germans. It was a Nazi concentration camp where some of the world’s greatest musicians, composers, artists and theatre professionals continued to create despite the near certainty that they would be transported to Auschwitz. The Nazis exploited their art as propaganda — ‘evidence,’ they said, that refuted emerging allegations of a Holocaust. They even made a movie to glorify the lie. The long forgotten story of these people and their struggle is being rediscovered – in art museums, concert halls, school auditoriums and on the web.
