Before Red Cross inspectors arrived at the Terezin concentration camp, the Nazis staged the camp to look like a refugee town, placing prisoners at specific places and guiding the inspectors along a planned route. Shops were filled with fake stocks of goods and food to show the inspectors, none of which was normally present during day-to-day operations. After viewing the Nazi's performance at Terezin, the Red Cross concluded that there was nothing wrong.

What is terezin ghetto?

Ghetto Terezin, or Therezinstadt, was a Jewish ghetto- a town or part of a town where a certain racial or religious group is concentrated- during WWII. The conditions were horrible. Six families had to live in a house made to contain one. Some people had to live on the streets. There wasn't enough food, and more Jews kept coming in. At the same time, Jews were always being deported to work camps, concentration camps, or death camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau or Bergen-Belsen. Therezinstadt was also used as a cover for what the Nazis were really doing to the Jews. The Red Cross came to visit, and found smiling people and a wonderful play (Brundebar) that the children put on. In reallity, the people had been threatened to smile and put on a show. Afterwards, the Red Cross mostly turned their backs while the Nazis went on torturing and killing Jews.

What was the least worse concentration camp?

If i understand your question well, you are asking which concentration camp was least horrible as a place. The purpose of these places was to kill people in big numbers, which they managed very effectively. You can't call any of these places better than any other. ---------------------------- The answer that you are looking for is Theresienstadt. It was built as a 'model' camp, it is the one that the Nazis would show to the Red Cross inspectors. Here families would be allowed to live together, leisure persuits were allowed and such like. By the end of the war the Nazis had given up any pretence at making it seem better and it became as bad as any other camp.
