Summary:

"In the ghetto, transit and concentration camp Theresienstadt, film recordings were made with the forced participation of the deportees and became known under the title 'Theresienstadt - A Documentary from the Jewish Settlement Area'. As a particularly perfidious part of National Socialist propaganda, these recordings continue to have an impact to the present day: Deniers of the National Socialist genocide still refer to this film today. In this anthology, the special position of Theresienstadt is examined on various levels. In addition to the analysis of eyewitness interviews, sociological, philosophical, and historiographical reflections on the circumstances, conditions, and peculiarities of Terezin are included."-- Publisher's website.

Notes:

"This book is a translation of the original German edition 'Theresienstadt: Filmfragmente und Zeitzeugenberichte' by Pellner, Lara, published by Springer... The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation."--Page 4 of cover.
