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.
