<!--The conditions in Theresienstadt were extremely hard. In a space previously inhabited by 7,000 Czechs, now over 50,000 Jews were gathered. Food was scarce and in 1942 almost 16,000 people died, including Esther Adolphine (a sibling of [[Sigmund Freud]]) who died on [[September 29]], [[1942]]; [[Friedrich Münzer]] (a German classicist), who died on [[October 20]], 1942; and two siblings of American politician [[John Kerry]]'s grandmother.
 
Some 500 Jews from [[Denmark]] were sent to Theresienstadt in [[1943]]. These were Jews who had not escaped to [[Sweden]] before the arrival of the Nazis. The arrival of the Danes is of great significance as the Danes insisted on the Red Cross having access to the ghetto. This was a rare move, given that most European governments did not insist on their fellow Jewish citizens being treated according to some fundamental principles.-->

On June 23, 1944, the Nazis permitted the visit by the Red Cross in order to dispel rumours about the exterminations camps. To minimize the appearance of overcrowding in Theresienstadt, the Nazi deported many Jews to Auschwitz. They also erected fake shops and cafés to imply that the Jews lived in relative comfort. The Danes whom the Red Cross visited lived in freshly painted rooms, not more than three in a room. The guests enjoyed the performance of a children's opera, ''[[Brundibar]]'', which was written by inmate [[Hans Krása]].

The hoax against the Red Cross was so successful for the Nazis that they went on to make a propaganda film at Theresienstadt. Shooting of the film began on [[February 26]], [[1944]]. Directed by [[Kurt Gerron]] (a director, [[cabaret]] performer, and actor who appeared with [[Marlene Dietrich]] in ''[[The Blue Angel]]''), it was meant to show how well the Jews lived under the "benevolent" protection of the [[Third Reich]]. After the shooting most of the cast, and even the filmmaker himself, were deported to Auschwitz. Gerron and his wife were executed in the [[gas chamber]]s on October 28, 1944. The film was not released at the time, but was edited into pieces that served their purpose, and only segments of it have remained.
 
[[23. kesäkuuta]] [[1944]] natsit päästivät leiriin Punaisen ristin edustajia hälventääkseen keskitysleireistä kiertäviä huhuja. Vähentääkseen leirin ylikansoitusta osa vangeista siirrettiin Auschwitziin ennen vierailua. Leirille perustettiin myös kauppoja ja kahviloita luomaan vaikutelmaa juutalaisten hyvistä elinolosuhteista. Vierailijat vietiin katsomaan tanskalaisia juutalaisia, joita asui vain kolme samassa huoneessa, ja seuraamaan erään vangin kirjoittamaa lastenoopperaa.
Often called ''The Führer Gives a Village to the Jews'', the correct name of the film is: ''Theresienstadt. Ein Dokumentarfilm aus dem jüdischen Siedlungsgebiet'' (''Terezin: A Documentary Film of the Jewish Resettlement''). (Cf. Hans Sode-Madsen: The Perfect Deception. The Danish Jews and Theresienstadt 1940&ndash;1945. Leo Baeck Yearbook, 1993)
 
Huijaus onnistui niin hyvin, että natsit jatkoivat kuvaamalla Theresienstadtin leiristä propagandafilmin. Kuvaukset alkoivat [[26. helmikuuta]], ohjaajana oli [[Kurt Gerron]]. Filmin tarkoituksena oli näyttää kuinka mukavasti juutalaiset elivät Kolmannen valtakunnan hyväntahtoisessa suojeluksessa. Kuvausten jälkeen useimmat filmintekoon osallistuneista vietiin Auschwitziin. Vain osia on säilynyt tästä elokuvasta: ''Theresienstadt. Ein Dokumentarfilm aus dem jüdischen Siedlungsgebiet'' (Theresienstadt: dokumenttielokuva juutalaisesta jälleenasutuksesta).
==Small Fortress==
 
<!--==Small Fortress==
''Small Fortress'' (''Malá pevnost'' in Czech, ''Kleine Festung'' in German) was part of the fortification on left side of river [[Ohře]]. Since 1940, Gestapo used it as prison (the largest one in the [[Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia]]). It was separate and unrelated to the Jewish ghetto in the main fortress on the river's right side. Around 90,000 of people arrived there and were usually sent to a concentration camp later. 2,600 people were executed, starved, or succumbed to disease there.-->
