Theresienstadt (in Czech Terezin) was a small fortified town in Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). There were two camps at Terezin (Theresienstadt) 1. A Gestapo prison for uncooperative Czechs. 2. A ghetto/concentration camp and transit camp for Jews, who were later transported to Auschwitz. It was, to some extent, used as a camp for prominent German and Austrian Jews.

Where was Theresienstadt?
In an essay i wrote for class i answered this question= Theresienstadt ghetto/camp research The Theresienstadt ''camp-ghetto'' existed for three and a half years between November 24, 1941 and may 9, 1945. During its existence, Theresienstadt served three purposes. First, Theresienstadt served as a transit camp for Czech Jews whom the Germans deported to killing centers, concentration camps, and forced-labor camps in Poland, Belorussian, and the Baltic States. Theresienstadt also was a ghetto-labor camp to which the SS deported and then imprisoned jews in certain categories based on their age and disability. Theresienstadt served as a holding pen for Jews in the above-mentioned groups. It was expected that that poor conditions there would cause the deaths of many deportees, until the SS and police could deport the survivors to killing centers somewhere in the East. Theresienstadt was Neither a "ghetto" or a concentration camp Theresienstadt was similar as to a "settlement," because of this it had similar features of both ghettos and concentration camps. Theresienstadt was a unique facility because even though there was terrible living conditions and the constant threat of deportation Theresienstadt had a highly developed cultural life there was many outstanding Jewish artists. Nazis used the Theresienstadt ghetto to hide the nature of deportations. When reports about the death camps began to emerge at the end of 1943, the Nazis decided to present Theresienstadt to an investigative commission of the International Red Cross. In preparation for the commission's visit more deportations to Auschwitz were carried out in order to reduce the overcrowding in the ghetto. Fake stores, a coffee house, bank, school, kindergartens and the like were opened and flower gardens were planted throughout the ghetto. The appalling overcrowding, sanitary conditions and malnourished led to the spread of diseases amongst the population of the ghetto. In 1942, 15,891 people died in Theresienstadt, half of the ghetto's population. More than 155,000 Jews passed through Theresienstadt until it was liberated on May 8, 1945; 35,440 perished in the ghetto and 88,000 were deported to be murdered.
