Jewish cell 1
In Cell Block A was this cell for Jewish prisoners. It was about 10' x 15' where 60 mem were kept; they all had to stand to fit in the room. The slot in the wall by the door was the primary source of air. Further words escape me.
Terezin, Czech Republic. Used as a Jewish Concentration (not extermination) camp by the Gestapo in WW2. Ultimate fate of most was at Auschwitz.
This specific location was called the small fortress where prisoners were kept.
It was a sad place to visit and even when processing these images I felt very sad.
An excellent history of Terezin is given at:
