Norbert Troller's unique account of life in Theresienstadt combines his intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the camp with two dozen of his own drawings and watercolors. Troller recounts his two years in Theresienstadt from early 1942 until September 1944, when he was deported to Auschwitz after the Nazis discovered he and other artists were smuggling out drawings that revealed the horrors of Hitler's "model" ghetto. Miraculously preserved by his friends, Troller's drawings and watercolors of life inside Theresienstadt add a compelling dimension to his story. His keen observations of human nature, of the experiences of his fellow prisoners, and of his own existence are embedded within a powerful history of the Theresienstadt atrocities.

This review is from: Theresienstadt: Hitler's Gift to the Jews (Paperback)
An intimate view of the Nazi mentality. All the things we've come to mistrust & dislike in humans is represented by the entire Nazi era, & certainly in this book. Cruelty, deception, corruption, self-absorption, graft, fraud, cold-bloodedness...on and on.
To anyone determined to learn as much as possible about this dreadful time, it is important to read this book.
