A light of hope – Religious life in the Theresienstadt ghetto

An exhibition on religious life at Ghetto Theresienstadt. Despite the inhumane conditions of the ghetto, the rabbis managed to maintain religious life and provide the inmates with psychological support and a spark of hope. Prayers, weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. took place in the ghetto – and all these are portrayed in the exhibition through drawings, documents, various Judaica items, testimonies, and others. The exhibit includes a unique Torah scroll that reached Beit Theresienstadt in the Tree of Life journey in May 2022.
