Synopsis

A film about Theresienstadt, the strangest of all the Nazi concentration camps where psychological warfare was perpertrated on its inhabitants. This concentration camp in Czechoslovakia had no gas chambers, though its death toll was appalling enough. Its prisoners were not tatooed, though they were deeply scarred in far more subtle ways. This was the greatest Nazi hoax.
