9 September 1943 | Within a newly opened sector BIIb of Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, 5,006 Jews deported the day before from ghetto Theresienstadt were placed.
The SS created there the so-called Familienlager-Theresienstadt. The temporary operation of this family camp, where some 17-18 thousand Jews were deported within 11 months, was a propaganda ploy intended to mislead both public opinion and the victims themselves as to the true purpose of “deportation to the East.”
Familienlager Theresienstadt was liquidated in two stages - in March and June 1944. See our online exhibition at Google Arts & Culture: artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/gQiyl0…
