Teicholz Film Series: Terezin

Shot inside the infamous Theresienstadt concentration camp, also known as the Ghetto of Terezin, the powerful film explores a previously unseen side of the lives of Jewish deportees in the early 1940s. These notably included artists and creative minds: scores of composers, painters, sculptors, poets and writers, the heart and soul of central European culture at the time. It’s in this light that Terezin tells the story of Antonio, an Italian clarinetist, and Martina, a Czechoslovak violinist, who fall in love with each other during the Second World War. Shortly after, they’re captured by the Nazi and deported to Terezin concentration camp where their love story is intertwined with the incredible stories of the many Central European Jewish artists and intellectuals imprisoned in Terezin that, despite being in such an oppressive place, succeed in staging an incredible series of cultural activities that became essential survival tools.
