Terezín, an isolated stronghold in Bohemia, became theatre of one of the cruelest deceit of the Second World War. This concentration camp, where famous Jewish artists were prisoners, had been used during the war as a facade: it was started up by the Nazis to look like a spa town. The Nazis decided to shoot a documentary: they thought that if the “set” would deceive the Red Cross, it could easily deceive the whole world. Kurt Gerron, Jewish director, accepted to shoot it. The ruse worked and the Red Cross backed off, allowing the death camps to continue their horrific work. Then Terezín had no more reason to exist: in a few weeks tens of transports going to Auschwitz were organized. Kurt Gerron was on board of one of these.
