<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2764154, member: 12789&quot;]Lodz was a working camp - cheap slave labour that produced uniforms and equipment for the Wehrmacht.&nbsp; It was the main reason the camp continued on into 1944 when most of the other camps were being cleaned out and essentially bulldozed to cover up the atrocities of the fascists.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly Terezin or Theriesenstadt was a transit camp ~ and a so called model camp that the Germans let the International Red Cross inspect, which is probably why the camp had the krone denominated money printed.&nbsp; It is doubted at that camp that the money was actually used there though - it was basically a prop for the Red Cross to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the last month I have read &quot;The Zookeepers Wife&quot; about Antonina and Jan Zabinski, also have read about Irena Sendler &quot;In the name of the children&quot; and Madeleine Albright&#039;s autobiography.&nbsp; The first two books have accounts of the Warsaw ghetto while the last goes into some detail about Theresienstadt as some of Albright&#039;s family were transited through there on the way to the death camps.&nbsp; I would recommend reading all three of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
