Some photographs of the Theresienstadt prison/camp grounds (Terezín). The Gestapo prison/camp, located at Theresienstadt , was known as the Kleine Festung (small fortress) or Maly Pevnost, in Czech. It was here that many unfortunates felt the wrath of their Gestapo and SS masters.
Images include...
Interior of barracks, execution site, camp entrance, inner courtyard, staff offices and medical room. Note the photograph showing the rail, and the section of broken stone behind it. This was where two prisoners managed to escape along a narrow walkway. Afterwards, the Germans smashed the stone until the escapees feat could no longer be repeated.
Also shown are examples of the currency that was issued by the Germans. The quality and detail of the Theresienstadt notes is unlike other typical camp or ghetto related banknotes from the period. Ghetto currency was typically more detailed, for reasons outlined in the Concentration Camp and Ghetto Currency thread that can be found elsewhere on the forum.
