What an incredible struggle they all had to endure

It is a miracle how Margaret was able to keep these papers hidden.

This is AMAZING. I’m not Jewish but my family from Denmark was intimately involved in the holocaust. After receiving a first edition copy of “I never saw another butterfly” when I was 8, I have a special place, if you will, for this awful place. Thanks so very much and God Bless

Making teddy bears? Such ironic cruelty

Theresienstadt was an experimental village and camp where there were only Jewish people and where the managers and the directors were all wise Jewish elderly. From the documents and the survivor testimonies I have seen all the films about that camp show life as it really was, in the words of the RED Cross a more comfortable camp than any other they ever saw.

SO THIS CAMP WAS A NAZI EXPERIMENT !!!!

@@tomflendodo7297 Yes, that's why there was only Jewish people in the village and the camp, life in the village was like living in any other village except they couldn't get out. There was no mass murder installations there so once a while, some of them were sent to Auschwitz where they probably didn't survive but no one knows why they were selected to leave. I don't know about life in the camp, the Red Cross didn't go there so we have no documentation.
