	Theresienstadt
		Theresienstadt which had been founded at the end of the 18th century as a garrison town by the Emperor Joseph II., in the Nazi period served as prison and ghetto.
		Situated northwest of Prague, the smaller fortress was used as a Gestapo prison, whereas the larger fortress was turned into a ghetto for 140,000 Jews, mainly from Bohemia and Moravia, but some of them also from the German "Reich", from Austria, the Netherlands and from Denmark.
		For the most deportees Theresienstadt ghetto was - provided they did not die as a result of the appaling living conditions there - only an interim on their way to the extermination camps.

	The Red Cross Visit to Theresienstadt on June 23, 1944
		Theresienstadt's claim to fame is the beautification program (Verschönerung) in which the Nazis cleaned up the ghetto in preparation for a visit on June 23, 1944 by two Swiss delegates of the International Red Cross and two representatives of the government of Denmark.
		This visit to Theresienstadt by the Red Cross was by no means the only visit to a Nazi camp, but it is the one that is the most written about because the Nazis used the occasion to disseminate propaganda by presenting the ghetto in a most favorable light.
		In the final days of the war, the Theresienstadt ghetto became a hell hole, where a typhus epidemic was totally raging out of control, just like the unfortunate Bergen-Belsen camp which the Nazis had voluntarily turned over to the British on April 15, 1945.
