Camp inmates after the liberation – Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia, 1945

During World War II, Theresienstadt was a camp to which the Nazis deported approximately 140,000 Jews, principally from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, but also from central and western Europe. The camp was liberated on 3 May, 1945.
About 19,000 of the Jews incarcerated in Theresienstadt survived the war, including two groups sent to Sweden and to Switzerland before the liberation.
