The camp of Theresienstadt was settled by the Nazis in order to gather outstanding Jewish men and women who were deported to that "Lager" from 1940 until the end of the war. Its main objective was to serve as propaganda, by showing Hitler's "good intentions" in dealing with the Jewish question. Therefore many artists, musicians and professors were forced to live there. In spite of this oppressive condition, they produced remarkable works of art. When the "final solution" was decreed by Hitler, most of them were sent to Auschwitz and put to death.
