Between 1941 and 1945, the Nazis turned the small town of Terezin, Czechoslovakia into a Jewish ghetto. Jews from around Europe were rounded up and sent to Terezin. Some remained there, while for others, it was just a stop on their way to a concentration camp. The Nazis used Terezin as a "show" camp to fool people around the world into thinking that Terezin was a model city of Jewish resettlement. Many of the artists who were imprisioned there, secretly drew many pictures of what life was really like. Those pictures were hidden and made public after the war was over.
