Theresienstadt. Ein Dokumentarfilm aus dem jdischen Siedlungsgebiet(English:Terezin: A Documentary Film from the Jewish Settlement Area) was a black-and-white projectedNazi propagandafilm shot in the concentration camp ofTheresienstadt.

In the summer of 1944, the Nazi government had perpetrated a hoax against theDanish

HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cross" Red Crossby taking them on a tour of theTheresienstadtconcentration camp in the occupiedCzech Republic. They "beautified" and cleaned the camp prior to arrival and arranged cultural activities to give the appearance of a happy, industrious community. To cover up the endemic overpopulation of the camp, numerous inmates were deported toAuschwitzbefore the arrival of the Red Cross delegation.[citation needed]The gimmick was so successful that SS commanderHans Gntherattempted to expand on it by havingKurt Gerron, aJewishactor-director, make a short film about the camp to assure audiences that the inmates kept there were not being abused.[1]In return, the Nazis promised that he would live. Shooting took 11 days, starting September 1, 1944.[2]Shortly after Gerron finished shooting the film, however, both he and other cast members were "evacuated" to Auschwitz, where they were gassed upon arrival.

The film was intended to be shown in neutral countries to counter Allied news reports about the persecution of Jews. Influential organisations such as theInternational Red Crossand theVaticanwould be given screenings. However, the progress of the war in late 1944 to early 1945 made that impossible. After an initial screening in early April 1945 to senior members of the government and SS, there were a few other screenings to international humanitarian groups in Theresienstadt in April 1945. Further distribution was halted by the defeat of Germany.[1]The film was mostly destroyed, but about 20 minutes of sequences from it have survived.[1]The surviving footage features a children's opera,Brundibar, and two musical performances on a wooden pavilion in the town square. One is ofKarel Anerlconducting a work byPavel Haas, and the other is of the jazz band leaderMartin Romanand hisGhetto Swingers. Anerl and Roman both survived Auschwitz; most of their musicians and the children from the opera did not.

The "Beautification", the Red Cross tour, and the making of the film are dramatized extensively in the novel and mini-seriesWar and Remembrance.Austerlitz, a novel byW.G. Sebald, features discussion of and a still from the film.
