Pohled na Terezín jako na „starobní ghetto“

In January 1942, the infamous Wannsee Conference was held, which assigned a new role to the Terezin ghetto - to serve as an "old age ghetto" for Jews from Germany and Austria. In the already harsh conditions of Terezín, living conditions for old prisoners were even harsher. The elderly, weakened by age and health problems, faced not only completely inadequate food, hygienic deficiencies and poor housing conditions, but also separation from their families and isolation from other prisoners. Radana Rutová's lecture from the Terezín Memorial will focus not only on the living situation and status of old prisoners within the forced community of the Terezín ghetto, but also on support activities that were supposed to alleviate their suffering at least partially.

We would like to directly in the ongoing exhibition of drawings by Gisela Rottonara, who, when she created the drawings in Terezín, was 69 years old and belonged to this very information neglected groups of imprisoned persons.

Entrance is voluntary.
