Terezin

Based on the true story of the Czech ghetto Theresienstadt, founded by the Nazis in 1943 and designated for the intellectual and artistic elite Jews of Europe, Terezin follows the fortunes of a handful of prisoners as they try to understand the truth of their captivity. When the Nazis "beautify" Theresienstadt in an attempt to deceive the Red Cross and sway public perception, the prisoners struggle to expose the truth through art and music–and in so doing, discover the humanity they all share. An unforgettable story of suffering, survival, and the strength of the human spirit, Terezin finds hope amid the heartbreak, humanity and courageous humor amid the horror.
