Description
"A poignant overview of life inside the ghetto." -- School Library Journal (starred review) Between 1941 and 1945, the small town of Terez n, Czechoslovakia, was a transit camp for thousands of Jewish people.

Here is their story, told through the firsthand accounts and artwork of those who were there.
